Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
pets
My landlord started allowing dogs and i went out and bought a dog for 900. My husband is military so its nice to have a companion. i have paid the pet deposit and have not done anything against the agreement and he came and said 2 months later that the pet policy was not working out and the dog was to be removed immediately. How can he legally do that? Isn't there a law like the grandfather clause saying that is not right. If i cant get him to change his mind can i get him to pay for the cost of the dog in addition to the refund of the pet deposit?

Re: pets
If you have a written lease, say for one year, allowing dogs, and your dog has not been disruptive and there are no other lease violaions, the landlord is likely obligated to the terms of the lease.
