Dogs are mans best friend, but they are not your landlords best friendfor obvious reasons.
Why hide a dog?
Maybe your great aunt died and bequeathed you her beloved pooch.
If your dog doesnt scratch up the place or pee on the carpet, you get the money back.
A bunny or cat probably isnt going to cost you as much pet rent as your big dog.
So, how do you hide the dog?
First of all, we cant overstate how little we recommend actually doing this.
Plus, living in secrecy is no fun for your dog.
Imagine if you gotta take them to the vet suddenly.
Is that delay fair to them?
Then, pray your landlord cares that much about your wishes.
They could communicate with the landlord and an investigation could get underway.
Offer upfront to pay a fee.
You never know until you try.
Keep the crate in the bathroom.If space allows, put a dog crate in the bathroom.
Put an occupying,quiettoy in the crate and pray your dog doesnt bark.
double-check your dog is well trained.If your dog isaggressiveor hyperactive, this isnt going to work.
Just accept that now.
Imagine running into your landlord or a gossipy neighbor.
Invest in pee pads for daytime use and acclimate your dog to early-morning and late-night walks.
Oh, and ifrather, whenyour pet goes to the bathroom on your floor, clean it up immediately.
Leave no immediate or long-term trace of the fact that you ever had a dog in that place.
Sneak your dog over to their place and dont forget topay themfor their services.
(We didnt say this was going to be cheap.)
You cant even be forced to pay a fee or deposit for an ESA.
Online services likeSupport Petsare fast and will get you medical certification in your state.
it’s possible for you to act contrite and even offer to pay a fee or pet rent.
Laws vary from locality to locality, so you better look yours up right away.
Then again, everyones circumstances are different, so do what you gotta do.
