Those landords are not lawyers. You should not be going to other landlords asking for legal advice, etc. From your first post, the rules are that you cannot have a dog that is x amount of weight(or over). Even if the landlord allows you to get a pet that is below x, and then the pet goes above x it is still a violation of the agreement that you signed prior to moving in. Rules are Rules. There are no ways to go around them.


My father is able to enter any unit with prior notification to the tenant(I believe he needs to have a reason to enter the household, such as inspection of electrical, heating, etc systems)(Basically, you need probable cause). If my father spots something in his vision that violates the rules of the agreement, that is breach of contract, my father can sue/evict the offending tenants. But he cannot just barge into the unit, go looking around for something that violates the contract, and then remove the offending item. That would be childish and I think, illegal. But I am not a lawyer. For such matters, my parents always talk to their attorney before doing anything to the tenants.
