My landlord is trying to make me either move or get rid of my pet. There are several other tenants that live in the area with the same kind of pet as mine. Can he get rid of us? What should I do so I can keep my pet without moving out?

What does your lease say about pets and the landlords authority to terminate or evict you?

If your lease does not allow pets of the type you have or pets in general, you are in breach of the lease contract. The landlord has the right to terminate the lease unless you remedy the situation by removing the pet. The landlord will have to issue a Notice to Quit. If you ignore the notice, he will have to file a Summary Process for Eviction Complaint. You should contact a landlord-tenant attorney to determine your rights, possible defenses and counterclaims, and options.
