Does your landlord allow pets?

FesterBeatty

After reading another thread i finally came to my senses and realised that my rent is "dead money" and now i wish i was headlocked into a 40 year loan on a house thats worth 30% of what i would have paid..

But how many other dead money payers like me are allowed have pets in their apartment?

Depends on the pet. A goldfish, yes. A tiger, no.

Cú Giobach

Yep, and he won't see what the puppy has done till after I leave.

Had a cat once in a house I lived in a few years ago. Asked the landlord could we have a cat in the house and she said it was fine.

Six months later she visited and threw the mother of all wobblers because we "aren't allowed to have pets". She was an absolute fcuking fruitcake.

scotty_irish

he allows my flatmate. enough said. not a pet. a f*cking animal.

biko

Yes, with a pet deposit.

MistyCheese

I've never asked.

Vicxas

No and i want a cat dammit!

saa

As long as it isnt noisey or causing damage I would love a pet but i wouldnt be around enough

was renting a room off this mad fella before I had a hamster and he called it contraband and asked if I could put it in the garden...... and tried to tell me if rabbits can survive in the garden that can pure feckin mad I tell yee's!

My friends staffy ate his way through the central heating wiring when he was a pup, caused approx 1k in damages and was pretty lucky he was'nt blown to shreds !! Accidents can happen but in fairness pet owners should be a bit more responsible at times

We aren't allowed to have pets but we have 2 cats, if the landlady comes around we just throw the cats outside.

Owen

Yup, was pretty cool about it too.

TaraR

I have , but ive never asked, ive never met our landlord, and dont really speak to him because he doesnt have that much english. Agent knows and seems fine.

Blikes

No but we got a dog anyway. if the landlord is dropping by (which she very rarely does) we just bring him to my mams house and hide his bowls

Living in a flat is surely poor low quality standard of living. Most people are not allowed to have pets.

We're moving to Galway in 4 weeks and have 2 dogs, found a landlord who was ok with it, but the deposit was slightly more because of the dogs!

We found most landlords/agents said no straight away.

She was sitting on,
Along came Don,
He said she was wrong,
Now Moggy the Cat is gone.

Absolutely not. My flat has way more space and is a lot easier to heat than the bog standard ghost estate semi-D debt pits that most average Joes are paying dead mortgage money in. Plus when I'm done with it, I can just walk away. No pets are allowed which is fine, there are no barking dogs at night and nasty lumps of feces laying around.

I was talking in general specifically about studio/bedsit flats for one person. Because many people who live alone like to have a pet for company and they are not allowed them.

I've rented 6 times.

4 for apartments, and you could only have a goldfish, maybe a hamster.
2 were houses, and we could have had any pets we liked.

Yeah that's a good point. It might be a bit unhygenic though to have people eating/sleeping/whatever else in a room with a dog or a cat there all the time. There's always goldfish and turtles and the like. I had some of those sea monkies when I was a kid but they gave me the creeps so I flushed them down the loo.

RIP my dear sea monkies, I hope you went to sea monkey heaven.

So long as the pet contributes to the rent & utility bills.

My landlord has 2 cats (we live in the same building), and I take better care of them than he does.

Well studios are not healthy full top. a bedroom, kitchen and living room all in one but what can people do. I never heard of sea monkies before. Well I wouldn't go for sea creatures, I like furry animals like dogs and some cats are okay but most of them are sly. I didn't know there are monkeys in the sea, that is cruel to do that to them. you could have given them to the zoo or a pet shop.

They aren't aren't actually monkies, they're some kind of minature brine shrimp. They basically come in a packet as a dried powder and you empty the powder in water and they come to life and start swimming around. They're quite disgusting really. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea-Monkeys
