      afaik in germany you can just get a cat even if you signed that you wont get any pets at all and they cannot do anything about it … unless someone closeby has cat hair allergies etc

      dogs are a different story

        I looked into it, and the law is fuzzy, because it states that you are allowed to have “small animals” but it never defines what a small animal is

          it seems it basically boils down to them having a damn good reason for the ban or it doesn’t hold in court

          hard to find a good reason to ban a small house cat compared to a dog

      Yeah at least in Canada, a landlord can’t kick you out for having a pet so you just dont say anything :)
