In a tenancy dispute concerning a cat kept without the landlord’s permission, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s claim. It held that a landlord may nonetheless be required to tolerate a cat even where the lease makes keeping one subject to prior permission. The plaintiff was ordered to bear the costs. The judgment is provisionally enforceable.
Omnilex headnote
A contractual requirement to obtain the landlord’s permission before keeping a cat does not invariably entitle the landlord to prohibit the animal. Depending on the circumstances, the landlord may be obliged to tolerate a cat kept by the tenant without prior permission.
