The landlord is irritated that, from his perspective, you decided to just go out an get a dog without seeking approval - Which is a very understandable position - He or she is having visions of a problem tenant that will be a pain in his rear for the next year - Your job now is to let the landlord know that you did in fact ask the realtor about getting a dog and that you believed a dog wouldn't be a problem - you are making a pretty big assumption that the realtor will not acknowledge the conversation --- if the landlord still refuses the dog after you have explained your side of things, then you either find another home for the pet or pay to get out of the lease ....

As a smart owner, he knows it's not worth irritating his tenant by letting every Tom, Dick and Harry traipse through their living space. 

It's cleaner, not toxic, no toxic glues, metal fittings that touch the water except the main valve-regulator thing-a- ma-jig.

Not only would this ordinarily irritate me, but I had a terrible financing experience during the process.

I am not throwing out blanket defenses of the city and it irritates me when I see people throw out blanket condemnation of the city.

If I dont have CO2 monitors on the property and someone dies because of the toxic gas, but I have an LLC set up, will the LLC protect me?

You also have the problem of toxic waste if former tenants are dry cleaners or auto repair shops.

It's very irritating and I thought I'd post about it.I'm working on a flip, which you can see HERE.

It irritates me when I receive those "handwritten" notes from cable companies, investment promoters, etc.

Most people don't know the difference between mold and mildew and most people can't tell you if the mold is toxic or not.
