Sure, let’s give landlords another reason to convert their property to condos.

I’ve heard that la Regie du Logement won’t actually evict people with small pets who defying a lease that says ‘no pets’. It’ll likely still put you in sour standing with your landlord.

Property value is more important than animal life? Is this true of larger animals as well?

qatzelok, right or wrong, to many people, the answer is ‘yes’. So many rental units are going away already, and few are being built. The more control taken away from landlords the more chance they won’t rent. I know I wouldn’t rent out my place with the risk of piss and shit everywhere.

Good grief, if you have a pet then don’t sign a lease in a building that doesn’t allow pets. Is this really so complicated? Many people don’t want to live around animals because of allergies or noise. There are landlords that want to cater to them. What is the problem? What right does anyone have to tell them that they can’t do that?

Likely this will happen hand-in-hand with landlords getting deposits. It’s likely the biggest reason that landlords are afraid, the damages.
If the Regie doesn’t evict people in violation of their lease, you are more likely to get a landlord who will want to take possession and stop renting, which is exactly the problem we are seeing. There are two sides to every sword.
