Pet clause

[tenent12]

There is a pet policy in my lease saying "no pets on the premises" A friend brought their dog over for a few hours and someone told the landlord. Can they fine me if the landlord didn't even see the dog?

Probably not.

But, remember AJ's Rule Number UNO:
You have the right to remain silent. Don't be your executioner and spout off about anything.

You are under no obligation to answer questions.

That way, you never get accused of lying.

Sometimes all you need to do is, smile!

its kinda hard when they are threatening 200 dollars per tenent (and 4 tenents)

 

[army judge]

How will they prove it?

Think.

Think.

Think.

Having a guest with a pet visit for a few hours is not at all the same as keeping your pet in the residence as a tenant. It is not something you would get into trouble over... though there are surely some cranky people out there that couldn't just let it go. Whether the landlord saw the dog or not doesn't matter- you don't own a dog and don't keep one at the residence so you are not violating your lease.
