That's different when you own your own home, but when it's somebody elses agreement that you signed, in this case, no dogs over 30 pounds, you're out of luck. Sure, it may have been approved at less than 30 pounds, but now it's over that classification.

Lets take a different scenario... totally off the wall here... I have a plane... it can carry a maximum of 500 pounds of fuel, it holds 4 people, maximum takeoff weight is dry weight +750 pounds... If I put in 4 people (200 pounds each), the maximum allowable as defined by the aircraf design and fill it with the maximum amount of fuel, again, approved by the design, are you going to feel safe in this aircraft at dry weight +1300 pounds? They're both approved limits.

OK, might be a ridiculous scenario, but the point remains, a signed agreement... a legal document. Sure, the landlord may know the dog may go over 30 pounds, but so do you. You're both taking the risk and the contract is there for a specific reason, to be the judge. If the dog was 29 pounds and the landlord trying to remove the dog, you would be holding that same contract pretty high and mighty in defense... but now it's garbage because it works against you?
