A typical apartment lease these days is ten pages of fine print. I'll bet more of them than we realize have a "no firearms" clause.
As much as I disagree with it, I think it may be a liability issue for the property managers to have tenants owning guns. After all, they're the ones who are going to get sued if an irresponsible tenant accidentally discharges a firearm into another unit.
Thankfully we haven't had to sign a lease since 1976 when we were still newlyweds and everyone was 'Firearms Friendly'. I think that lease was two pages and mostly pertained to how you had to leave the apartment when you moved -- white walls, no holes from picture/fixture hangers, no carpet damage, no damage to fireplace, etc. (It was one of those (cough) 'Swinging Singles Complexes' so 'rules' were on the light side).

"Liability". Yeah, thanks to lawyers they go after the deep pocket, not the irresponsible scum bag. But you still can't sign away your Constitutional Rights. Except if you live in a gubmint owned building, all thanks to Mayor Daley
One day he arbitrarily BANNED all otherwise legal Firearms (Rifles and Shotguns) from 'his' Public Housing buildings. This went to court, then up to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and he won. Poor people have no 2nd Amendment Rights when they opt to live in a gubmint owned building.
