“Exposed Secrets: The Shocking Consequences of Hiding Pets from Landlords!”
Got dobbed in by the people living behind us because my cat would sit in the window and watch them walk by every day. I told the property manager I was pet sitting for my parents and then kept the blinds down for a couple of months. Then emailed the PM again and told them my parents were permanently moving overseas and I needed to take in their cat because she had nowhere else to go.
I’m sure they would’ve seen straight through the lie but luckily the laws around renting with pets in my state were due to change in a few months anyway so we got approved.
Found a cat while renting a pet free apartment, kept him.
Landlord came over for some weird reason but he saw the cat. I just said i was cat sitting. That was it
Years later my now wife and i moved into a pet friendly place together and let the landlord know we had a small parrot (green quaker), she was fine with it and we didn’t need to pay anything additional for the bird. About 6mo later she called and asked if we had a bird, told her, “ya, you met her”. She then went on a on about how she never met this bird, didn’t know we had a bird, and that their were notice complaints (this bird is weirdly silent…always has been). We just rolled our eyes and rehomed our bird my mother-in-laws house for a year till we could move.
My parents had a “no pet” clause for the tenat that lived in the downstairs apartment of our house. His daughter left her toy poodle for him to watch for a few days and my dad saw him. According to my mother and the tenant (who was an amazing person) my father got down on the ground with the dog saying “oh whose a good boy, it’s you!”
The dog was allowed to visit anytime.
