In most cases, pets are not permitted unless the landlord has given explicit written approval in advance.

If a pet is allowed by special agreement, you may still be:

• responsible for any damage or additional cleaning related to the pet, and

• required to keep the apartment free from odors, pet hair, and noise disturbance.

Bringing a pet without prior permission may be considered a breach of contract and could result in:

• additional charges, and

• possible termination of the tenancy.
