I would say as long as no one is requiring proof of the cat being declawed they are not going to enforce this rule unless you need work done in your appartment & they find damage done by the cats.Originally Posted by LawGuy
The manager did seem to understand my concern. She is a cat owner too. She did mention as I might have said, that other residents of the complex who have cats are against declawing like me, so I take it that I'm not the first person who verified that this wasn't going to be an issue with her.
I consider myself lucky because I've had 3 differnt landlords over the last 10 years. They all knew about my cats & nothing has ever been mentioned about declawing. Since all of my cats are adults, I would do my best to get my vet to write a letter saying it was dangerous & inhumane to declaw. Otherwise if the landlord pushed the issue I would be forced to move out (which would be dumb on his part considering I've been a good tenant in that building for 10 years & I've always paid my rent on time.)
