I just got an 8 week old shih tzu puppy, but my dad just signed a lease for us to move into a new condo (that the owner is renting out to us) that allows no pets. I love my puppy and want to keep him. Do you think its possible since shih tzu's seldom bark and other neighbors have animals. The only reason the owner of this one wants no pets because she thinks it'll make the house dirty/smelly. The owner doesn't live in this building and i think i am going to train him to pee on puppy pads and only once a day take walks (the condo is huge). What do you think?

It's possible, but not probable. If the lease says that no dogs are allowed in the condo, then you're violating the lease by having a dog living in the condo. That could lead to eviction at the very least. I don't blame you for not wanting to give up your dog. But what I would suggest is talking to the owner and explaining to them your situation. They may be willing to make some concessions. Most people are willing to try to resolve the issue especially in the beginning, then to lose out on a tenant. I hope this all works out for you. Good luck.

I think you'll eventually be evicted. The fact that other occupants have animals is meaningless. Once the owner finds out, you're going to have a lot of problems. At the very least you're going to lose your security deposit when the landlord discovers that there are fleas.
There's NO WAY to prevent the occasional accident, puppies are like that. And it is a sad fact that many tenants DO let the place get smelly or soiled by pets. As a former landlord, I speak from experience on that. Not everyone is that way, but enough are that it gives pet-owners a bad name.
It's also possible that the owner's insurance policy stipulates a "no pets" clause for any tenants. I used to own a number of rental properties and I saved a chunk of change with that clause.
You really only have three options:
1. Try to convince the landlord to change her mind. She may be ameanable to modify the lease in exchange for higher rent plus an additional security deposit and cleaning fee.
2. Break the lease and find a place that allows pets. This will get expensive.
3. Find a new home for your dog.

I think you are playing with fire. What is going to end up happening is someone in the condo building who knows the person renting you the apartment is going to see you with the pup and go and tell them. It would be very hard to keep the pup a secret. It will be harder to place him in a good home if you do manage to keep him until he is bigger and then have the owner find out. Little dogs always bark, actually almost all dogs for that matter. I think you should place him in a good home while it is easiest to do. Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear, but it would be best for the pup in the long run. You don't want him getting attached to your family and then you have to give him away, now that would be even worse for both of you.

i think of you will reason your self quite some rigidity by consistently consistently questioning once you would be caught no longer if. the terrific element you're able to do is the two finding for a puppy friendly housing concern or stumble on a competent new perpetually domicile to your domestic dog. All canines no remember the breed will make some noise so hoping no one hears it shouldn't artwork. And to ideal care and socialize your domestic dog it is going to choose interplay with the exterior, different canines, and human beings. Recommeding information housing sounds severe yet that'd be the terrific. you would be at a place you're comfortable, you and the domestic dog could be who you're. Your landlord won't come around too often as you pronounced yet they're going to evnentually locate out. You in no way understand whilst there could be some emergency or restore artwork that desires to be performed. And as a results of undeniable fact that the owner could locate out at any time particularly whilst least handy for you, than you will acquire who's familiar with how plenty or how little time to therapy the placement..and the two be on the streets or compelled to do away with the domestic dog without the right time to locate a ideal domicile for it. yet, in case you may no longer/won't flow than the to blame element it to locate it a house the place it quite is allowed. It sounds harsh however the substantial element is the welfare of the domestic dog.

It has been done successfully, and your dog is one of the breeds with which this is most likely to be done. However, it is extremely unlikely that your pet will not be discovered. You would have to take it out of the house every once in awhile, it WILL bark occasionally, people WILL come to the door, and neighbors WILL hear it running around, bumping into walls, scratching on something, or barking.
