Most of us know that our breed of choice is not allowed at many rental properties so with that knowledge to make my life easier I prefer to disclose up front because moving sucks and this situation sucks for them and it could have been avoided possibly.

You're right, and I agree with you. But that is not a legal obligation, so it has no bearing on whether or not this guy can breach the contract. If he has an issue with a certain type of dog, he better know his stuff before he starts drafting legal contracts. A simple clause stating that the tenants will be held responsible for any additional costs incurred by their animals would have saved his ass...it's not just pit bulls that can affect insurance rates.
