that why they call them a Land-LORD... a renter in most cases has to answer to a landlord... but check your lease ---renters do have certain rights as well...

I bet your landlord has concerns because your puppy is a pit bull. These dogs are dangerous! Almost every day I read about a pit bull attack. Just last week, there was a story on the news about a pit bull that attacked and killed its owner.
Legally, your landlord has the right to determine whether or not you can keep the pup in your apartment. Some apartment complexes will limit pets by size, weight, type. They have to consider the health and welfare of ALL the residents.
Yeah, I know, I know YOUR puppy isn't like that, right? Well, be prepared, because the vicious nature of these dogs is bred into them and there's a good likelihood it will come out, sooner or later.
You wouldn't keep a lion, tiger or wolf in your apartment would you?
I really hope you do NOT have small children!

The previous post is correct many Landlords to not allow dogs upstairs for some reason. Many other issues do come up in regards to this. Now It may not be an answer but it will help
. Do you have a lease? If so is "anything" mentioned about pets?
. How long is lease?
. Unless you have it in writing a Landlord can do whatever he/she wishes long as he/she is not violating any of your tenant rights.
. What size dogs are your neighbors? Some Landlords limit dogs to under 5lbs only!
. Above all its his/her property and he/she makes rules if unhappy with those rules then look for new apartment
Word of advice don't make waves on this issue it will bite you in the butt. If you start complaining or bring other tenants into this mess you could be asked to leave. Your Landlord can ask you to vacate apartment at anytime longs as it doesn't violate your lease. If your on month to month then don't make waves!

Unfortunately, your landlord can do just about anything he wants to. Maybe the downstairs neighbor had his dogs before your landlord wrote it into the lease. You can always move if you don't think he's being fair, but it's very hard to find any rental property that will accept animals without a huge deposit and/or additional monthly fees.

Maybe because of the bad reputation pit bulls have. I have a friend that has one and she had to get all the neighbors in the neighborhood to sign a petition saying that they didn't care if she had the dog. That was the only way she could have it. She lives in Illinois.
Do you have a lease...check that also....

He owns the building - he can do anything he wants in regards to that. There's no law that he has to be fair in regards to pets. 3 Chihuahua/terriers cannot be a danger - I'm not saying that pit bulls are evil viscious animals. They are whatever their owners/trainers make them, just amp up the protectiveness - however having a large powerful dog in the building opens up a lot of liability issues.

The answer is Yes. But only if the landlord does not allow any pets in the building or if the landlord only allows pets up to a certain weight. Check your lease.

Yes, the landlord must provide you with doors, windows, a roof that doesn't leak, etc. The landlord has say over animals, roommates, how many cars you can park in the yard, etc. Have you tried offering to build a fenced in area for your dog and/or paying a one time pet deposit?

Well, it could have to do with the breed of dog you have. Some city or villages and I have herd of apartments that do not allow breeds such as pit bulls. Some people feel that this type of breed is aggressive and dangerous.

No he strictly cannot prohibited to have any pet, unless you´ve signed up a commitment of usage, that expressly prohibited the pets inside the apartment, otherwise there is no possible way for him to not allow your dog in...
Anyway if you are not looking for troubles ask or see all your signed papers and let the dog in...
