Hey guys,
I have kept snakes for about 6 months now in our rental home. A week or so ago the land lord, house owner and another guy came into the house for the 6month inspection. Now, under the rental house pet rules or what ever section it is, says that ALL Fish, Reptiles, Cats or Dogs are classified as pets. And at which point in the agreement we didnt know that fish or reptiels where against the rules. I went ahead and kept my little fish and my snakes(because I didnt know that they where PETS) so anyway, the house owner said that we might have to move out because they are pets. The snakes and the fish are not pets, they are hobby animals. We have had foxtel installed until the end of the year and the internet hooked up and since the things are on a plan you cant just get up and leave and stop paying. And there is an early dissconnection fee so we wont do that. We where not told that they where pets and now we are in limbo(inbetween moving and staying). This was the only thing wrong with the inspection, we have always been perfect tenants.
Im asking, what would you do?
Snakes and fish shouldnt be classified as pets as they are confined to their enclosure/fish tank not having anything to do with the house. The general reason the land owners dont like pets is because the next tenants could be allergic and the animals could ruin the house. Anyway, if you have read this far I appreciate it and need an oppinion.
