Guest The Pom Queen Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Yes I have, although a vet who has known the dog for a few years usually is sufficient or even a dog trainer. Can I ask if someone (Property Agent) As asked you for this and if so which state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hi @scubacam I’ve just seen NSW. There is no law to say you have to even tell them about pets, however, landlords/agents can write in any clause they want Have a look here https://files.tenants.org.au/factsheets/Tenants-guide-pets.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her temperament inside the house is great but she wears a muzzle on walks as she struggles with small yappy dogs As long as she doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety it should not affect your application at all (legal wise) obviously landlords can say whatever they want although in Victoria they can no longer refuse pet applications.
