Even if your landlord knows and has no problem with your reptiles, make sure they are written into the lease.
I have a neighbor who just moved in and is terrified of snakes. Landlord didn't tell her I had snakes- really thought is was no big deal. Turns out she is one of those overly paranoid types who is "afraid to sleep in her bed b/c she thinks they are going to get out of the cage/room and crawl through the pipes and into her bed."
Today she tells me that she made some "phone calls" to the zoo and other places (I gather the humane society). No big deal as I am not doing anything wrong or illegal. However now landlord doesn't want the snakes here since they are "causing problems" and they need to go.
Ummmm no, I am not getting rid of my snakes!
All b/c of someones irrational fear who won't even listen to a word I say. I have been nice, I have been polite, I have tried to educate her, I have tried to reassure her. All to no avail, she won't even come look at how secure everything is. Now I am having to send my snakes to live with my ex-mother in law (who is an awesome person and I love her to death!) while I wait for the place I was thinking of buying is available for us to move into- in 4 months!
This is the fear we are facing with HR669
