Since the parties are allowed to agree to any terms not against public policy or the law, if the lease says the dog is permitted then it is and a higher than previously agreed to rent can not be charged. but since you are on a month to month rental, they can just give your thirty days notice [60 days if you have lived there more than one year] that they choose not to renew the lease and you have to move.
