A landlord could not inquire about pets until after approving an applicant, and applicants would have to notify the landlord that they have a pet or plan to get one at least three days prior to signing a lease. Should the landlord deny the pet, the applicant would then decide whether to seek housing elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The landlord could also not require additional rent or security deposit for a pet.
