Can my girlfriend's apartment tell her that I cannot bring my pet over to visit her
Hello Timothy, the apartment complex has the right to enforce certain rules including pet policies. Could you tell me where this apartment complex is located? The rules may vary based on location.

Thank you for the information, Timothy. In Omaha, Nebraska, landlords can enforce rules about pets:
- They can have a no-pets policy.
- They can limit the size, type, or number of pets.
- They can charge a pet deposit.
Please check your girlfriend's lease agreement for specific rules.
They allow pets they have no restrictions for pets sizes or breeds and nowhere in her lease does it say she cannot have visiting pets
Thank you for the clarification, Timothy. If the lease does not explicitly restrict visiting pets, the landlord may not have a legal basis to deny you this right. However, it's advisable to have a direct discussion with the landlord to avoid any misunderstandings.
That we have done we have asked Sean shot records everything if we can bring her over to visit and that's when the office lady tells me that they have a no visiting pet policy but nowhere in the lease is that stated
Since the lease does not state a no-visiting-pet policy, you may be within your rights to bring your pet. However, consider getting legal advice. In Omaha, Nebraska Legal Aid Society might help.
