Hi,
I've been renting a house for 10 years. With the landlord's permission, I've had a dog (has since died) and now cats.
This month, the landlord apparently changed his mind and basically told us that either the cats go, or we all go.
There isn't any damage done to the house by the cats (if there was, I'd have paid the fix myself of course), but still he insists the cats are making "house lose value" and the only example he gave was "the smell".
I'm assuming he's within his rights to do so, as it's his house, but is there anything I can do to protect myself?
Thanks in advance.
