Offer the landlord a "pet deposit." I assume your lease is for a year. If there were to be no pets, it should have been in the lease or in written rules. Landlord might be out of luck if she tries to evict.

While I almost never disagree with Mr. Cohen, I would not offer anything.

The next move is not yours, but is the landlord's.

Let us know what happens.
