Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Pennsylvania
When I signed my lease, pets were allowed. Now that my pet has passed, the landlord changed their minds and will not allow another pet. I have the lease stating pets allowed and they have a depost of $300. I have tried to reason with them, but to no avail. What can I do?

A lease is a contract like any other. if the terms and conditions of said lease dictate that pets are allowed then said terms are enforceable until the lease expires. There is no easy answer in a situation like yours. If reason will not change your landlord's position, then the Court system may be your only avenue.
