According to the Tenant Protection Act <which is soon to be amended> The clause "no pets", as well as "no smoking", is completely void UNLESS your landlord can some how prove that it is a danger. Please keep in mind that this is the law in Ontario, I am not sure about other provinces/territories. If you have anymore questions, visit the Ontario Residential Housing Tribunal Website.

I think you're referring to some untrue ideas that some people spread about Islam...Let me explain it for you\n\nPictures are Ok to put in a house as long as they're decent pictures, and the people in the house don't worship them (which is reasonable dont you think?)\n\nDogs are not allowed in the house becuase they always tend to be unclean and cleaniness is the base of Islam...Dogs can be used for 2 purposes; hunting and gaurding, but they are preffered to stay out of the house, in the backyard or something...

I am not sure how N.C. law works exactly...but I can tell you how this would be resolved in Pa.  They probably aren;t that different regardless.  In Pa. a land lord is required to give 24 hours notice unless there is an emergency situation.  I do not see how a pet constitutes an emergency.  I'd also check your contract/lease, although I am sure that this is probably not listed.  As for the pet....your land lord has NO RIGHT to remove a pet of yours from the building.  None.  That is completely outrageous.  He can evict you for violating the lease.  He can ask you to remove the pet.  But he has absolutely no right at all to remove a pet from an apartment.  I'd sue.

It doesn't sound like the owner should have. But you don't know exactly what was in the lease either. Those leases can have all kinds of loopholes in them. Then again, the owner might have thought no one would ask for it back.

I can't comment on Canadian tax law.  The American (I'll interpret that to mean US citizen) is subject to US tax law regardless of residence or source of income.  The link below is an IRS FAQ for US Citizens living Abroad.  I saw at least 3 questions that specifically mention Canada.  I don't know any of the rules, but this should be a good place to start researching.

Darn. I don't know about Canadian Law. I hope you have also posted this question in the Canadian version of Yahoo! Answers.\n\nGood luck in this, your heart must be breaking. It may not seem like much to you, but I will pray for you and your child.

Your lease should spell out the time frame for returning your deposit.  Most leases don't allow for the termination of the lease for something as voluntary as the want of a pet.  I'm surprised the landlord has agreed to return your money at all.\n\nThat said, if he has agreed to do so and doesn't comply with the time frames defined by the lease you would have to go to small claims court to recover your money.

Do you have any vet bills in your name? That would prove that you have taken care of the dog and legally "own" it, thereby have a right to see/care for it.

I think that to deny you the right to have your service animal Would violate the Act.  \n\n  Unless you were informed of the rule and the Fee beforehand, I would think you had the makings of a discrimination case.  I would certainly refuse to pay this fee. \n\n Someone with a dissability who has a service animal knows the dog is part of her, and vice versa.  Many need to be educated about the "quiet" discrimination that the handicapped face.

the funding is too low to have separate shelters that allow animals.\nplus you;d have too much hassle, what kind of animals, how many what happens if they're not taken care of properly or bite someone.\nand some people are actually terrified of your fluffy (i can't believe it either being an animal lover myself) and this would not be a time in their life to make them deal with that.\n\nbut you could check your local animal shelter, they might be able to work with you for the time you're going to be in your own shelter.  just a thought

I'm home too. Safe and snug with hubby, son and all of our critters. Thanks for the response to the tax withholding question. Can you reccomend any web sites where I could research the actual law?

you must exhaust all courts in UK before going to europe so forget that one. the UK pays little heed to european or UN law.\ntake the opposite approach - get your dog - fight to keep or be transferred to a house that allows pets ! good luck

If your area has a 14 day rule...that is the standard.  I can have you sign a contract saying you are my slave, but slavery is illegal, hence it wouldn't be a valid contract.  I would make one more attempt at asking the pet dealer for your money back....and then i'd sue him in small claims court.

It probably depends on the city where you live - contact animal control and find out

I would spend the next day or two looking at townhouses/homes that allow pets. Call those landlords/owners and explain the situation. Some of them may be willing to work with you, etc. It never hurts to check. \n\nIf you do need to go somewhere where pets are not accepted, try talking to a vet, shelter, or a kennel. These people work with animals because they love them, and they may be able to help you. I had a shelter watch my cat for 3 mos when I had a roommate that was allergic to animals. We made the deal that I would care for her as usual, bring food over, etc and I would also adopt another cat when I moved to my new place. I adopted 2. Just ask them ... you never know.\n\nDo they have any YMCA's around where you live? Any shelter over your head is better than no shelter, and sometimes we don't have much of a choice in the matter. \n\nGood luck to you.

legally, you can only sue those who can understand laws.  Meaning you cannot sue an animal, but the owner of the animal for ignorance, neglect, etc.\nAn animal cannot understand right and wrong, not to say they don't know how to behave.  But this is the owner's doing and so the owner gets the consequences...where did you come up with suing an animal?

right here...\n\n'"Pet proof" your home and yard to prevent your pet from wandering off.  It is a violation of County law to allow animals to run at large.  Keep your cat safe indoors and keep your dog leashed or inside a secure, fenced yard.'\n\nIf it's like most counties your pets have to be *under your control* at all times.
