Small pets such as fish or budgies are generally allowed and cannot be banned outright, and cats in flats cannot usually be prohibited wholesale. Dogs and larger animals fall under the duty of good faith in § 242 BGB: blanket bans are invalid, but a justified refusal is possible, for example due to allergies or structural reasons. A written permission naming the specific pet creates certainty for both sides — and is the strongest proof if a dispute arises later.

Small pets like fish or budgies usually need none. For dogs and cats, written permission is the safest route.
