“Exposed Secrets: The Shocking Consequences of Hiding Pets from Landlords!”
I know that they paid a refundable deposit on the apartment equivalent to one month’s rent (£500 at the time of moving in). They did not see a penny of that returned to them because the apartment had to be fumigated, repainted and re-carpeted due to the cat s**t, p**s and oil from him dicking about with his car. I don’t think they vacuumed more than twice in the year and a half they were there. They nearly set their kitchen on fire twice. And they were forever leaving the communal entrance door unlocked which led to randoms walking into the building on several occasions. I wouldn’t have had any problem with them having a pet if they actually bothered to look after it (and the property).
Nice quiet Hungarian father and son living there now. Never hear anything from their apartment.
My landlord came in to the apartment one day to talk about something (can’t remember what). The cat I’d gotten about 3 months prior jumped in through the window and started winding in between the landlord’s legs, purring like a tractor.
The landlord looked down and then looked at me. I looked at him, dead in the eyes. Then we both just maintained a weird amount of eye contact while we finished the conversation and he left, and we never spoke of it again. When I moved out the landlord returned more than my original deposit (assuming accidentally). I think he just liked having an easy, generally trouble-free tenant and chose to let it slide.
