Please help i just signed a lease for a apt that doesnt take pets I love the apartment, and I love my pixie. I've been looking for a apartment for a month, and all the places that excepted pets were so ugly. No wonder why they didnt care. But I found a great place so I took it knowing that I have to hide my huge 3 pound yorkie ! lol I know it wont be hard I just want to be able to train her to not bark. She doesn't to begin with. She does it only when she is starving . My question is is there any way to train her to not bark and anyone have any idea about how not to get caught. Do you think there is a big chance. im so worried but why if she is so tiny i mean she is three pounds. please help oh and watch how you say thing i dont want to get to worried I do move in today. w/b thanks a ton |
Good Luck!! |

I had a Boxer and a Min Pin in a an appartment and didnt pay pet deposit and I never got caught. There were a couple times I had to hide everything. ONce the apt people came around to check smoke alarms and another time to spray all the apt for bugs. But they generally give you notice for stuff like that. I dont think you have to worry. A dog of that size can at least be easily paper trained. I dont know about the barking. |
If anyone complains that they heard a dog barking, just say you were watching Lassie or Old Yeller on TV!! I'm sure your little baby will be practically invisible! Just MAKE SURE no one sees you brining in dog supplies to your apartment - like dog food, wee wee pads, bones, treats, etc. That will be a dead give away. Good luck!! ;) |
I hid Simon for awhile when I first got him. He wasn't the crazy dog he is now ;) Is she trained to potty inside? What are the penalties for getting caught with her? Will you leave her alone during the day? That might be a problem if she barks when you are away. I don't want to discourage you but I would hate for your apartment to be like mine. Mine has a rule that if your dog is a "nuisance" (which they define) you have 14 days to remove the dog from the apartment but you cannot get out of the lease. |
Best of luck to you! |
When I got Sammi my lease had a NO PETS clause in it...I found this out after I got her... The "Pet Law" In New York City (Administrative Code of the City of New York Section 27-2009.1) and Westchester County (Laws of Westchester County Section 694), statutes commonly known as the "Pet Law" give tenants in all multiple dwellings, including cooperatives and most condominiums, as well as rental housing, and government subsidized housing, the right to keep a pet, even if there is an applicable "no pet" clause in the lease. Under the "Pet Law", if a landlord fails, within three months of his knowledge of a tenant's open and notorious harboring of a pet, to enforce any applicable "no pet" provision, then any such provision is deemed void. The law applies to unit owners, as well as renters, in co-ops and condos, whether private or government subsidized. Good Luck to you! |

If you have the dog for a certain amount of time and no one notices, you are legally allowed to keep it. Check for the time limit though. I know a few people in Stuyvesant Town that have been able to keep their dogs this way and you know how they are there :thumbdown If anyone asks you can say a friend is visiting with the dog. Good Luck and where in BK are you? |

We're allowed to have pets in our building but we haven't let management know about Annie yet... I figure as long as I can get away with it way pay the fees. So when the come to do any maintenance checks Annie goes to doggie daycare and we put all of her stuff away... For the most part Annie isn't a barker. But as she has gotten older she has gotten into protectopn mode. Whenever she hears noises outside in the hallway she goes into howling/barking mode. This was never a problem when she was much younger... But the last few months... There are like 400 apts in our building so there is no way for them to find out who has paid for pets and who hasn't unless they look in our file... But I would be worried in a building that didn't allow pets altogether... How old is Pixie? |
I also currently live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets. But Coco is so small and she doesn't bark. But I don't like the idea of having to hide her all the time. So I'm moving in 2 weeks to an apartment 25 miles away that allows dogs. Sometimes you have to make that sacrifice because you don't want to keep your dog from being themselves. But I know what it feels like to find nothing but S**t holes that only allow dogs. I got very lucky that I found a luxury apartment that allows dogs for a 750 DOLLAR DEPOSIT. Yes it is crazy but I want my baby to have some freedom. If Pixie is quiet and good, then you have nothing to worry about. Plus if they don't find her for 3 months you can keep her. We don't have a law like that here, that's why I'm moving. |
