Technically the animals are not allowed

There is no such a thing as technically when you sign a lease, you either break the rules or you don’t!

If your landlord was to find out that you were residing on his property with so many animals and that this was a breach of the lease agreement, he could

A# Make you get rid of every single one of them

B# Evict YOU and all your animals

This is serious, all it takes is one person to complain to your landlord, like your future ex-roommate for example!

And if something like that was to happen imagine how hard it would be to find a new place to live in!

I'm just gonna say this and then will leave the matter entirely alone. First....it's quite probable that the guy who does the repairs neither knows nor cares what the details are of any given lease. He does his job and so long as he doesn't see any blatant, major property abuse, he wouldn't say anything to the landlords.

This is coming from someone who owns properties and rents them out. If I, as the property owner, were to ever find out that one of my tenants were breaking the lease in this manner, they would be given two weeks to remove every single animal AND get the property thoroughly cleaned and sanitized and repaired as needed....OR...they would find themselves in eviction court.

It's easy to feel like you're skating safely when the ice is smooth...but you never know when you'll hit that thin patch and the whole lake crumbles beneath you.

And that is why we are trying very hard to find another place to live. We don't want to live here.

Understood....but our point is not that you need a new place to live...but that maybe you should seriously reconsider the thought of getting yet more animals to add to your collection UNTIL you get a new place to live.

Sorry....I said I wouldn't continue to meddle. Good luck with it.

I agree with waiting until you have your own house, things can get rough, and re-homing so many animals would be hard.

[Jay_Bunny]

I know and I appreciate your concern. I really want to get out of here. We both do, but it just seems impossible to find a place that suits our needs. We have found dozens of homes for rent but none allow pets or have very strict pet policies. We found one that didn't mind our animals, but it was very expensive and we'd need to have roommates (something we will never again have). It just seems impossible to get a new place.

I'd be curious as to the smell. If your planning on breeding large amounts of animals there will be a smell regardless of how well you clean.

[Clear]

With that many feeders yea, you will have a smell. A small barn would be recommended.

[greghall]

The smell would be ungodly!!!! & un healthy to live with ! Rats stink mice smell worse.i only breed enough for my own use & think im going eclusivly with asf's,because of the smell!

I've noticed that most places don't really "notice" the pets. We've lived in one place with a "no pets" policy, but when the landlord stopped in for repairs, she just loved up the cats. Our current place, we weren't supposed to have any dogs, but, out of five apartments, there are three that have dogs (ours is one, and we've got two pups), and again, when the landlord stops by to pick up rent, he plays with our pups, and he even stops by to let the one lady's dog out when she goes on vacation.
Go with your own gut, but, usually they'll freak out quite a bit more when you start getting into the creepy crawlies and the rodents.

Pitbulls are against the rules here, breed restrictions and all. There are at least two living right up the street from me and they walk them in plain site of everyone.

Actually, pitties are usually banned, however, the breeds that closely resemble them usually aren't. A LOT of people mix up pits with numerous other breeds that look pretty much like them. As long as they can prove that they're not pits, they're fine.
