Can the new owners of an apartment building stop allowing pets?

I've lived for 8 years in an apartment I chose because it allowed my cat. The building just got new owners that I know don't allow pets in their other buildings. Should I be worried?Can the new owners of an apartment building stop allowing pets?If you have a current lease, it should hold up for the term of the lease. If you are on a month to month, the new owners would have to give you at lease 30 days notice before they changed the terms and ask you to sign a new lease. Any sane landlord would let you keep the cat since any damage has been done by now and good tenants are hard to find.Can the new owners of an apartment building stop allowing pets?
Make sure you go to them with a copy of your lease, show them where it says that you're allowed to have pets. If they sign a new lease with you, it can say whatever it wants and if you sign it, you have to hold to it. If they just go on a month to month lease, you're somewhat safe, as well as if they decide to allow pets.Can the new owners of an apartment building stop allowing pets?Not if you already live there.Can the new owners of an apartment building stop allowing pets?
Are you on a yearly or monthly tenancy ??? If monthly, then you may need to seek advice from the local Housing Authority (if the new owners are adamant about no pets)....may want to get together with other pet owners in the complex on this as wellCan the new owners of an apartment building stop allowing pets?As an apartment manager for a large nationwide owner/management company, here's what I know:



Until you sign a new lease with them, they cannot force you to move/get rid of your pet. However, once your lease is getting close to expiring, they can ask you to move because of your pet if you are not willing to find it a new home. If you sign a new lease with them, you have to abide by the terms and policies set forth in the new lease.
