Thanks. Some reading says the landlord can refuse to rent to someone with a pet, but cannot terminate a lease for that same reason.
However, if you are renting a condo unit, the condo rules/bylaws do have legal force, and the condo's board can order the pet to be removed (even if you are a tenant) if it's violating those rules. In this case, the condo bylaws (which ignore who is actually living in the unit) will overrule the landlord-tenant legislation. So it's renter beware if you are planning to rent a condo unit, with a pet in tow!
