Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

since a dog is personal property in virginia, can a landlord discriminate on the breed? to me this is like saying you can drive a car but only american cars no other cars.

Yes, of course. Your analog is less than apt. A rotweiler could

conceivaby have an impact on the landlord's rented property as well as

persons who might have occasion to come into contact with such

property in a way that a poodle or small terrier would

not.

Of course, the landlord may discriminate between which

of these breeds he may be willing to tolerate on his property and

which he is not.
