Secondly, while signing a lease there was a box that said no pets, after being specifically told before signing that I could have a pet. I brought this up, I verbally assured that "a dog is fine if it doesn't cause a disturbance" I did NOT initial the paragraph, but did sign the lease. Trouble?

You are signing a contract and if it does not reflect your view of the arrangement, change it. If the other party is not willing to put in writing what is guaranteed verbally, you are certainly about to get [censored].
