Today, I came home to an eviction notice after an apartment inspection. The reason? Having an unauthorized pet that could cause unnecessary damage to my suite. My pet is a goldfish. FML

Today, I came home to a lease violation and a $220 fine after a routine pest control visit. The violation: my single beta fish in a small bowl. FML

Today, my apartment complex added $250 to the $1,000 my roomate and I already owe because of an unauthorized pet and complaints from neighbors that our dog barks all night long. We don't have a dog, we don't even have a pet. FML

Today, I was able to land a nice apartment solely based on the fact that my puppy is potty trained. During the required pet interview, my dog 'got sick' and defecated all over the apartment office. I now have to clean the mess knowing that I will not be allowed to live there. FML

Today, I called the landlord about the mouse I keep seeing in my kitchen. He wasted no time accusing me of keeping it as a pet, and went off on me about his "no pets" policy. FML

Today, while doing some spring cleaning, I found the remains of my goldfish, which I was sure my cat ate last year. FML

Today, I woke up to shit on my floor and my cat hiding under my comforter. I have to get rid of my new fish because my cat is afraid of it. FML

Today, I bought a new goldfish. While leaving my fish on my balcony to go get fish food, I hear a loud squawk and splash, I race outside to see a bird flying off with my fish. FML

Well, Nemo and his friends did make quite a mess of the dentist office when he tried to escape. Could happen.

"Eviction for a pet goldfish" is simply translated into... "I'm pulling a Mr. Roper from Three's Company, using this as an excuse to throw you out so I can put someone in I already have in mind who will pay at least 50% more for the same apartment."

no one can say no to my pet plant, ha! lol. seriously, even in college dorms ive heard of hidden gerbils and stuff. fish isnt even rare if you listen to rumors - at least one tank in every building.

Your lease says no pets. Last time I checked, a goldfish is a pet. No matter how stupid you think the rule is, if you sign the lease saying no pets and you get a pet don't be upset when you get evicted.
