| Husband is worried.... :( Okay let me ask ya'll a kinda weird question. Well, my husband and I live in a house right now, but were renting. Our realtor told us we were not allowed to have pets. Well, about a month ago, we broke down and got a cat anyway. I can't stand not having pets around... I love animals, and without them, I just feel incomplete. Well, as most of you know, I plan on getting a yorkie soon. My husband is all worried about our realtor finding out.... But in our rental agreement, it says we have to have two days notice from her before she is allowed to come to our house and do "interior inspections". I don't know what could happen if she found out? Have any of you done something like this before, had pets somewhere your not allowed to have them? I was just wondering... Thanks! |

| This is kinda a toughy with I am sure a lot of view points towards a situation as you are in. I've been asked before to move when I rented an apartement with a no pet policy and I tried to sneak a dog in... Maybe you can find a house to rent that does not mind you having a pet and then you wouldn't have to worry so much about breaking the lease rules. Good luck!

| Yeah, I know that's what I told my hubby! It was his idea to get the cat.... Well, it just says in our contract that they can do interior inspections with a 2 day notice first. I don't know why they would do an inspection? We've lived here since December, and our realtor has never came over the house or called us about anything... My mom told me that they normally wouldn't do an inspection or bother you at all unless they think your doing something wrong (like having parties, or neighbors are complaining about us...etc). But, I was just wondering if any of you are in the position or have been? This is why my husband and I are looking into buying a house, I told him if we do, than I am getting all the yorkies I want!!! LOL.... |

| Do it or not! I know you love pets and want to get a yorkie but I would not go for it if the realtor found out or the inspector then you might not be able to live in the rented house anymore But still,go for it You never know!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | In our last rented house I had already signed a lease before the landlord said - you have NO pets right ? I swallowed and said no - I really needed to have a house by the end of the day at that time....So...what we did when he came over to inspect our roof once was I took the THREE dogs for a ride in the car till he was gone - We never had inspections or anything like what you're talking about thought - I wouldn't like that !! I would think since you already have the cat you could casually mention it - and about the yorkie - I don't know how you can handle that - they do bark and if your landlord came over unexpectedly - they would know for sure ! |

| Go For It :) Oh, it's so good to hear I'm not alone. 3 years ago a friend offered me a free yorkie. He was adorable. I talked to my landlady because several of the tenants here have cats and she said absolutely "no dogs". I didn't understand cuz yorkies are smaller than cats and don't climb the curtains. I ended up not getting the dog. This same friend affered me another about 3 months ago. This time I didn't ask. I feel if I have to move, I'll move. I wont let him go. He 's soooo worth it. I say Go For It. If you have to move. Move. Good Luck

| We live in an apartment that does not allow pets but most people here have them anyway, but our lease also states that we are given two days notice for inspections etc.. Our lease is up at the end of May so we are going to move. Luckily Sebastian does not bark, the girl upstairs has a yorkie-poo and he howls and barks all night and all day. If we get caught they claim they will charge us a fee plus immediate eviction. But like I stated before so many people around here have them so I don't see the difference. (I do but my hubby chose to get him for me anyways) |

| Yeah, it seems like a lot of people do it anyway. We are really wanting to move out of this house anyway... Did they ever "inspect" your apartment sebastiansmom?? I don't know if they would inspect our house anyway. We do everything were suppose to do, EXCEPT not having animals...lol. I could see them coming over if we were not doing something right.... So I don't know. I agree, a yorkie is well worth it! |

| We get inspections Hey there, I live in an apartment and I have three yorkies. 6lbs, 3.5 lbs. and 2.5 lbs.. When they are going to give inspections I put them away where they cant be seen. If I need to I take them out. They are great to have a around and I wouldn't change a thing; We moved from a house to a apartment, since my husband changed locations. We are waiting for our house to be built. So I went from having five dogs down to two dogs. Then I couldn't resist and got another yorkie. =0) We had to get rid of the golden and westie, since we are living in a small apartment and they needed more room. SO I say go for it. carolynne |

| When I lived in apartment will parents as young we brought Jane and sneak her in. The Management never. Plus we weren't the only ones. Almost everyone in the apartments had pets.Cats, dogs, you name it. Everyone used to go the playground and let they dogs play. Now we just moved in our first house in years. And now Jane is still run runs around like a maniac. Because her first and very own backyard. But have to share with the new puppy. Maybe you could ask your realtor if you could pay a extra fee for your pets? Just suggestion!

| My boyfriend and I snuck Stewie in and out of his apartment building for a long time. Then, he became friends with the landlord; the landlord would come hang out at his apt. It really screwed us over because I always bring Stew over there and I felt like I coudln't in case the landlord stopped by. It was awkward. Finally, my boyfriend just told the landlord that Stewie and I stay over very very often and that Stewie was housetrained (not true at the time). Now his landlord is in love with Stewie :P Who can blame them?

| our apartment complex allows pets, but you have to pay a deposit first....... needless to say, we didnt have the deposit after buying toby and all his things....... so....... he was illegal for a WHILE, i know the stress you are going through.... legally they had to give us 2 days notice before coming into our apartment, ....... we were really worried they woudl just stop by and here him...... now however he is legal, and since that time they have had people coming in and out fo our apartment for inspections a LOT |

| My apartment complex allows pets but the deposit was $500! So we hid our Maltese from them for over a year before we finally decided to pay the deposit. Our biggest issue with hiding him was that maintenance would just show up to do random stuff like changing the filters without any notice and Tuffy loves to bark when someone knocks so that was pretty scary. Whenever I did get notice that they were going to do something I would just take him to the park and we would just hang out for a while and then head back home. My sister also was hiding her dog and the apartment complex did find out and told her that she was in violation of her lease. They told her that she had 24 hours to either get rid of the dog or pay the deposit.. so naturally she paid the deposit. Now we have our Yorkie and I don't want to plunk down another $500 for her so we are going to try and hide her as long as we can. The thing I hate about having to hide is that everytime I hear someone coming up the stairs I freak out! I'd say if she has to give you notice that she'll be coming by then you'll have time to hide your dog before she does.. and if she shows up unannounced then she'll be in violation of your contract as much as you would be for having the dog so maybe you'd have an argument there. Good luck!
