    I’m not going back through this whole thread, but I’m nearly certain the tenant required permission in writing to keep a pet, but further down the article it says she got an email from the EA. The LL appears to now dispute giving permission and along with MC is saying pets are not allowed.

    What are you hoping to gain from this? The RTB site literally outlines that their interpretation of the meaning of “in writing” does not include emails, this is what supports my opinion, unless you think they would acknowledge “in writing” does include emails, and then we must ask why that does not apply to notices.

    That RTB page specifically refers to notice of terminations only. It doesn't support any opinion about any other communications with tenant and landlord.

    You are the only person who cant get to grips with it.

    There is nothing on the RTB site or in legislation that requires general communication with the tenant to be in writing.

    I give up.
    You are right and everyone else, including all those who found they had invalid notices with the rtb are wrong.
    Ask the RTB and you can correct everyone else with what they tell you.

    This isn't about a notice.

    It is about the RTBs interpretation of what “in writing” means though.

    It covers them nothing can be used in RTB.

    The RTB don't get to change the law.

    It appears they do get to interpret them though in their position as arbitrator of disputes relating to tenancy legislation, see my earlier post relating to the sections of the RTA which refer to “in writing” and the RTBs interpretation of what “in writing’ means.

    I’m not sure that I have anything further to add to this for you.

    You're not adding anything "for me". The RTB legislation is specific about the need for notices to be in writing. There is nothing in legislation requiring information about pets to be in writing.

    It's that simple.

    Apparently the tenant’s lease stated permission did have to be “in writing” though, which the RTB interprets to exclude emails, isn’t that what we are discussing? I’ve lost track (and the will to live) with this/you.

    The RTB only interprets excluding of emails specifically in relation to notices to quit. The RTB does not interpret excluding of emails in relation to other forms of communications.

    Regardless, RTB doesn't get to rewrite other laws by 'interpreting'.

    I've 2 labrador dogs and had them from pups, aged 6 and 1 now. So 1 is still a pup really. They've done a bit of damage, not much but a bit. Recent lad chewed cushions, shoes and destroyed a set of wooden blinds for the craic. They could have went for couch or other furniture but didn't thankfully. I absolutely love dogs and I like cats too, I would rent to someone that has them but I'd insist on a double deposit.

    As an aside, I rented out my house for a year once and the agent I used made a point of not renting to families with small kids because of damage they could cause! In private to me he said that.
