I believe in Ontario except for Condos who are protected by the Condominium Act, banning dogs in a lease gets trumped by the Landlord and Tenants act.

Which is stupid in some sense because I don't believe that large breed dogs should be in apartments. Now not all apartments are considers condos for obvious reasons, but I think the L&T should be changed slightly. This is not just for the right of the people living in the building but for the poor dog. No German Sheppard should be raised in an apartment.

They would tell you they have no pets, sign the lease, move in and unless you prove the pets are a nuisance you'd have to live with it.

Again that is stupid because it is a clearly breach of contract but because the L&T act says you can't put that on the contract, it is the landlord that gets screwed.

It is because of the irresponsibility of people to care for their pets that landlords dont want pets there. It makes sense, but then you have people like me that are responsible and we lose out.

violation of the right to peaceful enjoyment of the other tenants as well as a violation of the oath of truth at the end of the lease, just before their signing

Many Condos only impose a weight restriction which eliminates the bigger breeds but i know when I was searching to lease a condo many were no pets period. My agent explained the rules of pets and leases but that was about 4 years ago. I've since moved on and bought my own place so I'm free to do whatever I please.

I don't know how much that would fly in court to your favor. I do know I am happy to NOT be a landlord. For these reasons and many others.

That is the way to go if you can do it. Nothing worse then having limitations in your own home.

You wouldn't stand a chance in front of a tribunal in Ontario. They don't even eat bacon FFS.

the right of a person to enjoy their home in general trumps your right to own a shit and bark factory

 

[Ms.FemmeFatale]

But the burden of proof that the shit and bark factory is causing an issue is hard to prove. And the persons right to live there is trumped over the others for some reason as well. Escpecially if the tenant has kids.

I know a few landlords. One who is redoing an entire main floor of the house because of the tenant and her 2 German Sheppards. They could not get her evicted for anything. Non payment of rent, they put in the noticed, she paid the last day available and then wouldn't pay again until the next forced notice. They showed proof of the tore up yard. They had the tenant downstairs file a complaint and the neighbor I think, so many things. I could go on and on.

Finally while going to file papers again, the secretary person told me friend to evict based on returning the property from rental to personal or something. He had to lie and say he was moving back into the home. Changed his address on a few things as well to prove it. DL, CC and banks. She was fighting that the whole time. Made a court date for the tribunal or whatever it is called. She didn't show, she moved out that day, 3 months behind in rent. She didn't pay from the time he told her he was moving back in. Fucking people. Like pay your way. She was a total scammer and the law was on her side. He has forked out thousands just to get it back to normal living conditions. He wants me to rent it out to SP's. He says they would treat it better and keep it clean. LOL

In Ontario it's hard to get rid of troublesome tenants. Mike Harris eased up some laws in this area but still not enough.

I believe in the US if they fall behind within 30 days the sheriff can be brought in.
