Well, strictly speaking I believe any lease provision that purports to ban pets is unenforceable. I am not aware that a landlord can be penalized for putting such a provision in a lease, but they will not be successful in attempting to enforce such a provision. I’m unclear about more specific provisions such as “no barking” or “no large animals” but I’m guessing that enforcement would have to depend on nuisance in general and not upon any specific lease provision. Not a lawyer however so don’t rely on anything I say.
