The lease says no pets but we ask r landlord he said one cat will be fine. We ended up wanting to more cats we asked the landlord he said he was okay with it. Now he is saying we got to get down to one cat by Feb 7th first he said we had till March 1st. I'm pregnant I'm due February 13th the stress of having to get rid of my catsis nt good for me or my baby. We got rid of 5 cats we r back down to 3cats. And I want to keep them. On top of tht the landlord said if we aren't down to one cat he going to call the spca on us. Cats are well feed tooken care of and r in good health. So my question is can are landlord demand us to get rid of the 2 cats when he said we could have in the 3 cats in the first place?
