I’ve been living in a fourplex since December 2005. I’d really like to get a small dog, but I don’t know how to go about asking my landlord. So my question is: how can I ask my landlord for permission to have a dog, without getting rejected?

SF Appeal Tenant Troubles: Prohibited Pets Could Put You In The Doghouse
It doesn’t seem that your dog is causing any damage or threatening the neighbors, but that is not the issue. The fact is that you are in breach of your lease and could be evicted for having your pooch because it seems like the lease has a clear “no pets” provision.
Landlord Consent, Red Herrings, Three Dog Night
It doesn’t make sense to give the landlord a say in picking your roommate. The original tenant or tenants are still responsible for paying the rent. The landlord retains all of his remedies to collect and to repossess the unit if the rent isn’t paid.
Need a New Roommate? Father Knows Best
As I mentioned last week, in almost every written lease there is a prohibition against subletting without the landlord’s (usually written) consent. I also mentioned that adding or replacing a roommate is subletting. Why do you need the landlord’s consent? Because it says so in the lease and you will be in breach of the lease if you don’t get his consent.
