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, it was confirmed that the "no pet rule" in my apartment complex is so strict that I'm not even allowed to have sea monkeys. 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.

Fight it! Even complexes that don't allow pets will still allow fish to a certain extent

Maybe he is worried the aquarium will leak and cause water damage. Or he is just an asshole with a zero Tolerance policy.

I guess you didn't see that episode of south park where the fish murders people!

Just because you are renting does not mean the landlord has to allow you to have anything you want. If it says, "no pets allowed" that means no pets. And a fish is a pet. Depending on how big the bowl/aquarium for the fish is, the water could potentially cause damage. I am sorry to say that since you do not own the property you really don't get to do as you like.

Challange in court, or shove some sushi into every crack of his car.

What does your lease say? If it says "no pets," you're screwed. If it says, "no cars or dogs," you can and should sue.

Actually, they cannot evict you. If its a material breach of the lease, you are given time to correct the situation. My ex husband snuck a cat into our apartment in Alberta and we were issues a notice to remove the cat or would receive eviction notice. My current landlord asked for a pet deposit of $600 for my son's hamster :(

It would be the same for a cat or small dog. Plus rodents (especially those owned by children) can get lose and cause damage like eating wires in the wall or having other baby hamsters. No one wants your son's hamster in their apartment when it escapes. Just because your pet is small does not mean you get special treatment.
