Keeping a Pet in New York City

Thursday, July 13, 2006

Karen Copeland, ESQ, is offering a speaking presentation on how New York City tenants can keep their pets despite the landlord having a "no pet" clause.

In her overview, Ms. Copeland states there are two types of defenses to keeping an animal in a NYC rental, cooperative, or condominium housing.

  • New York City Pet Law - which says if you have a pet and the landlord fails to commence an action within three months of gaining knowledge of the pet, any " no pet clause" in the lease is deemed waived.


  • Fair Housing Act - which gives a tenant with any mental or physical impairment the right to a reasonable accommodation which can include non-enforcement of a rule such as a "no pet" clause.

NYC renters may also be subject to complaints of nuisance if they can be proven to be a "substantial interference with the comfort and safety of other tenants.

Date: Saturday, Aug. 12
Time: 1 - 4 PM
Location: 242 E. 53 Street, New York, NY
