My boyfriend and I had a dog for two years in our rented flat. Our landlord lived abroad and never bothered visiting and we never told her. He was perfectly trained and caused no damage! My latest landlord agreed when we said we’d put down a deposit which was £1000 more. Ridiculous but 
we loved the flat and we’re willing to do it. We actually got it all back too!
