Does NO PETS ALLOWED include....

[xaeniac]

1. ) Fish


2.) Turtle

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

Generally. If you are talking about an apartment though, most do not care about a small aquarium.

 

[xaeniac]

But it says No "Pets"

The definition of a pet is 1. animal kept at home: an animal kept for companionship, interest, or amusement

 

[monk3y]

Still don't think fish and turtles apply unless your tank is HUGE.

 

[Pepsei]

hmmm you can probably have a fishbowl

Then ask your management company and re-read your rental agreement.

 

[Dirigible]

Yup, no pets means no pets, including fish or turtles. They may overlook it, at least until they decide they want you out and suddenly "discover" you've been violating the terms of the rental agreement.

I will; Didn't know if anyone was an expert or had a prior experience I will ask the landlord

Talk to your landlord, each will have different rules. Some will enfore "no pets allowed" to mean any pets, others will be fine with fish and turtles. My last place before buying my house my landlord had a standard no pets clause in the lease. I got him to approve my menagerie (snakes, spiders, scorpion) in writing.

usually no pets means something that could damage the apartment in some way.... but that's just my interpretation.

That's the thing to do if you want to be safe.

Talk to the landlord/manager. Our manager says no small pets, ie dogs/cats, because they can stink up the place, but fish/turtles are ok.

 

[FoBoT]

ask
many places will let you keep something in a cage or aquarium, if it is small
like a bird or guinea pig

we had a bird in an apartment where you had to pay an extra $400 deposit for a dog or cat, but a small bird was fine

 

[vi edit]

If it doesn't have hair and/or legs, and doesn't leave a box to crap, it's not a pet.

But check with your landlord. 🙂

Weird when the reply window post strait to the thread. Anyhow, I wouldnt think it would include fish, A turtle with an open tank and a bunch of lights might cause some questions if the super comes in to fix things.

No animal policies are not allowed to exclude service animals of whatever type, extra deposits or rates are also not allowed. It could be a ferret someone has for stress therapy or it could be a dog too, like one that might help people with seizures

[uberman]

Get a bird. I like ducks and geese. Ducks are funny!

 

[Parasitic]

How much do guinea pigs run?

 

[rival]

Well if they find the fish/turtle and want you to remove them just say you plan to eat them. O yea and the place i live in says "NO PETS" but the manager has like 3 cats.

yep

 

[Christobevii3]

Mine allows fish and caged animals that are not ferrets.

 

[Scouzer]

my landlady says no pets, but when i called she said its fine if i got myself a rodent (so i got a chinchilla)

According to Webster's online dictionary a pet is, "a domesticated animal kept for pleasure rather than utility." Turtles and fish aren't domesticated.

Of course, the safe bet is to just ask the landlord what they prohibit as pets.
