My apartment doesn't have any clause about reptiles, but I'm sure they'd freak at the number of snakes I have. I don't take my animals outside, and none of my neighbors know I keep reptiles.

I had an inspection with less than 24 hours notice - and had to call out of work (I also have a dog that I will not lock in a room all day). I tossed a blanket over my rack, and a towel over a few tubs and left everything where they are. The baby rack I didn't even bother to cover.

Two maintenance guys came in with their clip boards, tested the fire alarm, the faucets, hung a CO2 detecter that I didn't have, and one even set his clipboard on top of the tubs with the towel over them to write his notes.

In and out - no fuss, no muss.
