i'm afraid i'll have to agree with builder48 on this one. if you know that you are in violation of your rental/lease by having a pet, that is in fact being dishonest and lying about not having a pet, and also very rude to your landlord and fellow tenants. this kind of behavior should not be encouraged yet i feel like this poll seem to invite validation for a clear violation of a legal agreement and the common conscensus is to nevermind the rules, if you can get away with it, then do it.

my parents had a rental once where one of the tenants gotten a dog in violation of their rental agreement. my parents were trusting, they never checked. when they moved, their deposit couldn't begin to pay for the carpet replacement and cleaning the yard of dried poop. guess who had to help with the cleaning... yeah... you bet i was annoyed. being an animal lover doesn't mean it's okay to violate rules you don't like at the expense of others. this may not be something you want to hear, but it's the truth.
