Wow, just wow. I know...when I was a landlord, I didn't allow pets. I had seen too much damage to rentals by irresponsible pet owners. Of course, not every pet owner is like that. But I can't believe the owner of the home can't make that decision themselves. Wow.

I agree, Wow. I wouldn't like that.

I rent.

I wouldn't say it was necessarily hard to find a place to rent that allowed dogs, but it was with other pets (ferrets). And it was more challenging to stay within my means, too. Most around here seem to have a weight limit or a limit of 2. The landlord I have now is a company and the rules are really easy, cut and dry. I could have another if I asked, but I do not wants I don't think 4 would be a very easy or good choice but thats just my own personal experience

That sounds crazy to me O.o Around here caged pets don't usually count toward the pet population *with in reason*

Everywhere I've rented caged pets do count. Fish tanks even count on my current lease.

Do they count per fish or per tank?

[Laurelin]

Well tanks are just on the lease. I have to notify the landlord of them. I can have tanks so long as they're less than 10 gallons. I had to sign that I wouldn't bring in any mammal/bird/reptile/fish without informing the landlord.

[Red.Apricot]

That makes more sense than what I was picturing.

Renting here with pets is hard. I did for awhile but I wasn't supposed to.

Not really, i mean you have to take into consideration that that ferrets are exotic animals
From what I hear, its difficult to rent when you're taljing about exotics. Ferrets also don't count as caged animals because they really can't stay in a cage like what people think when they say caged animals.

Renting here with pets (dogs/cats rather) is hard. Most Landlords don't allow them, period. Others have limits. We are living in an apartment where we can have pets - but we do have to ask on certian one. Dogs, cats, exotics and reptiles. If I were going to get a guiniapig for example, no one would care.
