Apartment rules and regulations states... Only if the pet is dangerous, causes allergic reactions or causes problems for other tenants or the landlord (which all must be proven to the Board), must you get rid of your pet or consider moving elsewhere as per http://www.ontariotenants.ca/law/act05.phtml#RTA76
Even if you signed a lease with a "no pets" clause, if the pet is not a problem for anybody they can not enforce it; such http://www.ontariotenants.ca/law/act02.phtml#RTA14 are invalid under the law.
You do not have to move or get rid of the pet unless the Board issues a written order to do so.
If you own a pet and are finding it hard to rent...the rule states a landlord cannot discriminate and not rent to you based on your pets... but they do... all the adds I see are NO DOGS... UNSUITABLE FOR PETS ...this is ridiculous... they cannot make their own laws but they try to... so what I recommend because they are being so dis-honest, is avoid mentioning your pet, and once you move in you will have no problems because according to the laws in Ontario they cannot do a thing, and if they bother you they can be charged up to $2500.

This petition is to ENFORCE the laws that landlords CANNOT put no pets, or discriminate against people with pets this ensures a place for us as humans to live along with our pets, this also helps our SPCA's with flooding of pets and putting animals down!
