I'm advertising in a paper, but I didn't specify that no children are allowed. Let me make it clear: I don't own this apartment, I'm just trying to get out of the remainder of my lease, which runs until June. The lease I signed with landlord specifies that no children are allowed. Since I'm subleasing the apartment, I assume that the new tenants will be held to the same (or very similar) lease rules to which I am bound.
I'm not the one who doesn't want kids to live in the apartment; rather, it's my landlord. My question came about when I stopped blindly accepting his rule. I can see him saying no pets, no smoking, but I don't see how he can legally forbid a child to live here, so long as the occupancy of the apartment is not more than two people.
