But you have about 2 choices in Portland now thanks to a completely lame ordinance  from a lame city council who want to keep tenants in their "homes" at all costs.   1) you can evict them on a violation of their lease (not paying, smoking, extra pet, noise, etc),  but they have they easily have right to stop the violation and stay.  

It also sends a message to health care providers that falsely claiming a disability to get around pet fees is fraudulent behavior.

And thank GOD there is such a lack of housing...especially PET FRIENDLY housing, which this was designed to be...that the Tenants have been patient.

How about a cardboard pet?

The premise, as I understand it, is that everyone and her uncle is claiming that they need their pets as emotional support animals already, so why not make it fair for the folks who haven't figured out that loophole and grant all pets the right to housing in Berkeley.  

We keep photos of approved pets to ensure there isn't a switcheroo.We once had a husband who was evading signing the agreement.  

Excluding the obvious such as criminals, those with pets or children etc based on your specific property type. 

I would say get any good reports and documentation you can but most landlord's that care are not going to accept someone a pet that is or looks like a pit bull.

•Dogs and pets: If you have strange fascination for weird pets, or even for something as harmless as a dog, make sure you send him for a walk.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
