Thanks, I'm really glad you didn't take it the wrong way, as I was not trying to be mean or offensive.
I agree, I wish they were simply considered good pets as they don't make any noise, hardly smell and don't usually take up much room. So much easier than fish or birds. I wish landlords understood they are a very easy pet to keep and they don't (normally) cause property damage. It's taken me and my bf over a year to find a new place to rent that allows my 2 cats and our reptiles. We started seriously looking January 2017 and just now found a place. It's such a hassle but better to be on the up and up than to game the system or hide them from a landlord.
I wish you the best of luck once you are out on your own! Places can be found, it's just takes time.
