I'm not looking to rent ATM but will be looking to rent after graduating nursing school and landing a job next year. I've seen quite a few homes around here that advertise pets ok and big dogs and all that. I know honesty is the best policy because I do not want to be evicted. The problem is when you say you have several racks of breeding rats and then a bunch of snakes people are going to be inclined to say no right off the bat. How do you approach these situations? How do you gently put what animals you have and say it in a way that you're not going to get that instant no? Again I will be renting a house not an apartment. I'd really appreciate any real life experience and advice.
