Evening! Dog owners who live in condo rentals downtown.. did you tell your landlord you had a dog?

I don’t want to invite potential conflict by updating my landlord, my lawyer partner says the no pets clause is void in toronto anyway - but I worry about a bad landlord reference if they find out i.e come for repairs.
