But what if, for safety reason due to my newfound disability, months after the signing of the lease, I change the floors to the safest type, and I acquire a service dog? Despite technically breaking my agreement which I may well have made under duress (also possibly due to my pre-existing mental condition, and circumstances), I have the right to a fair hearing. And so at court I would almost certainly win with the aid of disabled persons organization, and acts, as well as my well payed lawyer.
At the very least, we know I won't be booted out on my ass with you keeping my deposit.
As you well know, an agreement is subject to change under certain circumstances, and a simple click cold very well qualify as certai circumstances. A mere warning cold have sufficed, for example. Fair practice should be employed at all times.
