Just cause a contract is signed and your renting, does not make the management above the law and just walk right into someones home. notice needs be given when its to take place and someone MUST be present to let them in.

Keys are given in the case you lock yourself out of the rented apartment. This gives them access to letting you in and for legal purposes. Eviction notices are done thought the court systems, so they cant walk right in with out legal paperwork stating they can.

They have ways around that. We've rented apartments and they would often enter without our consent when we weren't home. They would call it things like "Maintainence" and such. Just like every month they would do routine "maintaince" where they would jot the serial numbers down on the stove or dishwasher and do a walk through. We all know its just an excuse to snoop around. The "law" won't do crap to help you. I changed our locks and screwed the windows shut after we found out they were entering without our consent. We first noticed the problem when alcohol we had it the cabinet started going missing. Then a few days later all the pictures of my wife in the apartment as well as her underwear and other clothes disappeared. They even used our computer to upload photos to the internet they took from around the complex of young/teenage girls (we lived right next to a middle school)! You could clearly see which apartments they were taken from around the complex. At one point during this crap the guy tried breaking in while my wife was home alone. She pulled a gun on him and sent him running. Management as well as the Abilene PoPo told us to take a hike. We put that place on CL really quick. Paid for the deposit and everything for someone to take over our lease.

However, on the subject of snakes, we weren't supposed to have any, but they never brought it up. I still would not risk it. Show them exactly what you have, how big it gets and that you can properly care for it and contain it.

Ball Pythons are not considered large snakes. To me, a large snake is a snake that is over 6ft. Thats just what I go by. To other people a large snake could be 3 ft, or 4ft. It depends on the person. If you told them you have a Ball PYTHON(S) then they probably think you have a huge monsterous snake. When people here the word "python" or "boa" they automatically think "Giant scary snake that eats people." When I tell people I have 2 Ball Pythons their eyes get huge and they sometimes gasp. "What?! You have a PYTHON?! Aren't you afriad it will eat your family?!!"

So, no. Ball Pythons are not large snakes by any means.

Also, that whole pitbull thing is a bunch of crap. I have a Blue Brindle (I think thats how you spell it) Pitbull and she is the sweetest little thing. She loves to lay with you and just watch what we are doing. She LOVES the rats and stares at them in their tubs through the screen for hours. Sweetest dog, EVER. She would never hurt anyone...she is afraid of my Grandmothers Chihuahua!!

i live in an apartment as well...with a boatload of old people...i walk down to the pool with my BP and shes huge...bigger than the average BP... everyone hates that i have her...i have even been threatened by 60 year old women that they would kill my snake...my BP is over 5 feet long and fat as hell...she eats a medium live rat and 2 fuzzies every week. shes not small...and in canada where i live snakes are frowned on...well they are where i live at least...

Im running into a similar situation right now.. I moved in with my girlfriend into her townhouse.. He land lords have a no pet policy.. Im not sure if it was in contract or verbal; however, they dont know about my BP enclosure in the basement. Im just waiting for that *@$( to hit the fact when they figure it out. I mean, could they tell me I cant have a fish tank? Most likely my BP will be in her hide when they see the enclosure anyway.

Every apartment I have lived in that had a no pets policy did not include animals you could keep in a fish tank. Back in the day I kept fish in my tanks, and 1 bearded dragon, but I do not see the difference.

I can totally understand the outside since they own the property & I rent it from them, but I own whats inside or so I thought..

The only reason the neighbor told the management is because she is deathly afraid of snakes & said she would do everything she can to make it so I don't own it. It's not like I will be parading it outside & I think as long as it's inside & not harming anyone I can do whatever I please inside the home.

& ya Cali has some screwed up rules, I drive a truck for a living & it's a constant harrassment when driving.. and well that's another long story I wont get into now. :rolleyes:
