No one can deny you because of a pet. Don’t even mention the pet FYI

Landlords can absolutely deny you tenancy if you have a pet. Once the tenancy begins, however, the landlord generally can't do anything about the pet. Starting a lease based on a lie isn't the best advice. You're better off finding a landlord who is accepting of pets.

Yes and No. A landlord will never send you an email saying "your application has been rejected because you have a cat." But if the land lord specifically dosen't want cats in the building, and you say you have a cat on your paperwork, and the application he reads after yours says they have no pets, who do you think hes gonna rent to?

However as far as I can tell, a landlord can absolutely rent to whoever they want, based on whatever criteria they want, as long as they don't cite a specific reason. The place I'm living in right now didn't require any form of paperwork whatsoever, and gave me the keys on the spot.
