Is it doomed if my landlord won't let her dog stay overnight?

[Z4nd3rz0ne]

I've just started seeing someone and after making an enquiry, I learned that the landlord of my leasehold property won't allow her dog to stay overnight 'as it would set a precedence', whatever that means.

The girl I'm seeing previously said that it would be unfair to me to always be coming to her - we live an hour apart. But now I'm realising this might be a case of having no choice and always having to be at hers every weekend, always being the guest.

It's very discouraging to think that she would only ever be able to spend a few hours at mine and never stay the night unless she got a dog sitter.

Has anyone had any similar experience and had it work?

i mean, landlord makes the rules.  setting a precedent is meaning if they make an exception one time then people will do it again and again and take advantage of it.  

and you already know that it isn't just "one time" because you'd be doing it constantly.

her dog is not your issue, her dog is her issue.  if she wants to stay with you, she needs to manage her dog.  you aren't the caretaker of the dog.

 

this is hardly different than someone needing a babysitter if they want to be out all night, except dogs are easier than babies.  surely she has a friend that can drop by and check on the animal while she's gone, animals exist just fine without us standing over them.

She's a grown a$$ woman, she can accommodate and leave her dog with a friend simple as that. No different if she were a single mother. This is totally an adaptable situation.
