"Exposed Secrets: The Shocking Consequences of Hiding Pets from Landlords!"

Man signing a document, possibly about pets, wearing a plaid shirt in a well-lit room. We had actually signed a ‘pet addendum’ that the agent gave us and paid an additional ‘pet deposit’. Turns out the landlord had no knowledge of this, didn’t give the go ahead for an addendum to be created, and didn’t allow pets at all. Fortunately we had copies (and copies of the emails the agent sent us with the document attached). They asked us for proof of all vaccinations & parasitics from the vet (per the fake ‘addendum’) or threatened to take the whole pet deposit. We provided the documents and they didn’t take any of the ‘pet deposit’. Guess the agent screwed up royally but it was a good lesson to learn – keep absolutely everything, even if you don’t think it’s necessary.

Cat relaxing on wooden floor, embodying the secret life of pets hiding from landlords. I had a friendly stray cat – probably a pet someone dumped – who decided to move into my place when I was renting while in grad school. The landlord was very hands off and very rarely came around, but after I’d had this cat for months, he did stop in because my AC was broken.

I’d planned on making sure the cat was outside when the landlord was going to come by, but then he just popped up unannounced. Because it was hot as hell inside my house, I’d opened my doors for air circulation. Landlord walks in and sees the cat lounging on my living room floor, and he was like “oh I didn’t know you had a cat.” I looked that man dead in the eye and said “I don’t know that cat.” Idk if he believed me or not, but he shrugged and nothing more was said about it. The cat and I continued living there for like three more years.

A gray and white cat sitting on wooden stairs, part of a story about people hiding pets from their landlord. I had an illegal cat when living in a student room. Pets weren’t allowed but hell if I was to live without a cat. One of my friends lived in the same house and had cats as well, she told me the landlord hardly ever came round, so took my chances. Had an awesome time with my little cat, she helped me not be lonely (first time on my own). But of course, after about a year, the landlord came by unexpectedly and she greeted him happily. Sigh. He told me she had to go. I was so upset, didn’t know what to do. And even though I was already an adult, my father called the landlord and managed to convince the man to let me keep her for the remaining 8 months I’d be living there (there was a fixed moment since I had to go study abroad and would move out). Always loved my dad for it. And of course the landlord was awesome for allowing it. Bought him a big bottle of expensive booze as a thank you.
The cat sadly died last year, she was 16 and had always stayed my little girl. She hated most people but loved my now husband. Loved her and still miss her.

Small pet snake held in hand, representing secret pets hidden from landlords. My landlord in college allowed caged pets but had a “no zoo animals” policy. He tried to evict me over the fact that I own a snake. Ended up getting student legal services involved, they argued that “no zoo animals” is absurdly vague and that because I am not a zoo, my snake is not a zoo animal.

Pug resting on the back of a sofa, looking curious and relaxed, illustrating hidden pets from landlords scenario. They never found out.

Also, they had the audacity to have people donate to local shelter to win a free month rent, when none of their apartments allow pets, and they own almost all of the apartments in the entire town, meaning no-one with pets can rent in my town, and no-one renting can actually adopt from the shelter.

F**k them.

My roommate had a fluffy orange cat already, and about two months into living together I adopted a old man tuxedo kitty from the shelter. I don’t know why I never mentioned it to the landlady, she was a wacky hippie type who lived an hour away and almost never came to the apartment. But eventually, my roommate broke the lease and moved out of state, and I stayed til the end of the lease. When the landlady came by for the final check when I was moving out, she looked at my black and white cat and said “Huh, I could’ve sworn your cat was orange! Guess I gotta slow down on the pot.” I did not correct her lol.

A dog resting in a cozy dog bed on a wooden floor, capturing a hidden pet scenario. My landlord found out when a repair guy saw my dog’s bed during a routine check. I tried playing it off as if I was just pet-sitting, but the landlord didn’t buy it. They ended up charging me a pet deposit retroactively, which was better than getting kicked out.

Guinea pig inside cage, representing hidden pets and landlords discovering them. I had a hamster in military barracks. I stole his wheel because it squeaked when we had room inspections and hid the cage under my sink (only during inspections, outside of that he has a wheel and sun!) I was overseas so he was already old when I adopted him (families can basically drop off unwanted pets at the vet there for other families coming in to adopt as they come in) but he died before I was caught. We had a funeral for him and I painted a tea box black and we snuck out behind the laundry room and buried him under the cover of night and a friend sang a little song. RIP Sybil!!

I got a ferret next but I left and gave him away before I was caught. Word got around I was getting away with it and this d*****s got a cat and did get caught. Standard military paperwork for being in trouble and had to get rid of the cat.
