When we rented, our apt was initially listed as "no pets", we talked him into allowing us to pay an additional security deposit for "1" cat. Which he did agree to, by the time we moved out and into our house we had 4 cats in that apartment. Our landlord was a major pain in the butt as he would come around snooping while we weren't there. Fortunately for us our cats hid when someone came in so even though there were 4 you were lucky if you saw 1.
Plus what also helped us upon moving out we made sure to let him know when we moved the cat out, so he could show the apt as a "no pets" apartment. And when he stopped by our house to return the security deposit, which we recieved in full, he told us that he never had a tenant leave one of his apartments so clean.
