Landlord Objected to Dog on Time
LVT Number: 12816
Landlord sued to evict tenant for keeping a dog in violation of his lease. The court ruled for landlord, and tenant appealed. Tenant claimed that landlord didn't object previously when tenant had pets. The appeals court ruled against tenant. The ''no pet'' clause in tenant's lease stated that landlord's consent was required ''in each instance.'' There was no question that landlord had objected to tenant's new dog in writing within the period required by law.
