Yep rental properties suck! We just got an apartment and are moving there in August. Technically the apartment allows for caged animals (they knew about my sisters snakes and didn't have a problem) but as far as cats and dogs go, you are only allowed 3. We have four cats and a dog. We'll see how that goes. We just can't afford to buy a house right now. *Sigh* It would be nice to own a house. No animal rules!
