Have you ever lived in a place that didn't allow pets, but had them anyway?

I like to see old threads that I wrote come up again!

When I first wrote this thread, I voted: Yes, and still live there (didn't get caught)!

But, I need to change my vote to: Yes, but moved voluntarily and now live in a pet friendly home.

We moved out of the apartment in March, and are now living in a home of our own. Living on the "wild side" was a little nerving, and I'm glad we don't have to worry about destroying someone else's property or constant barking.

When my hubby and I moved into our new apartment (3 months ago) we weren't sure about the pet policy...The landlord seemed very easy going and we soon realized people upstairs have birds and downstairs had a cat (it's a 3-family house). The people renting before us had twin babies and we figured, a small dog is not going to harm anyone... Actually, I figured, and managed to convince hubby . We hid J.J first time landlord came for rent but then next time, we let him loose... LOL. He didn't say anything, honestly I don't even know what damage the pup would do. He barely barks and goes on pee pads almost every time now. We just kept him off the carpeted area in the beginning. What you mostly hear when you enter the building is those birds from upstairs, they're WAAAAY louder than J.J. We were actually able to sneak him into a no-pet hotel recently, he was so quiet no one never knew

Alright so at my apt at school they have a 2 cat max policy, but anything else is allowed except dogs.... so i got 2 cats. rescued them both. then I got a chinchilla (then brought it to it's new home so he can have friends, 4 to be exact, and he is now an oops! daddy!)
okay, then at a party one night there was this adorable big fluffy gray cat that was wondering around on the side of the road, Miss. Chief came home with us that night, later found out that her and her other sis and bro were dumped on the side of the road. My two were rebelling against her and would have "accidents" all over, so I relinquished her to the shelter (no-kill of course, now she has a loving forever home!)
after that I rescued 3 ferrets (who my mom took from me b/c she is in love ) and I miss them
after that I decided that I wanted to foster a litter of kittens. So I just brought them mom in last week (to wean the kittens) and have 6 freeking kittens running around!
Well.... about a month ago (when the kittens were 3 weeks I think) I got my little Tony! So I had.... 6 kittens, their mom, my two cats, three ferrets, and my Tony all at once.
hehe
So I am pretty much on the way to being evicted! haha, but I gotta love them
The kittens go up for adoption next week! anyone in Dekalb please go adopt them! they have 96 cats/kittens up for adoption right now! Donations are veryyy welcome! http://www.tailshumansociety.org
Sorry so long, but I am a big candidate for this poll!!!

It's been a very long time since I posted, and THIS thread was my reason for stopping....I take the same point of view I did way back in the threads beginning.....If one knowingly harbors an animal against the agreement they signed upon moving in, they are not honest..Justifications by the offender make no difference in my opinion. I cannot help but suspect that if one chooses to be dishonest in the aspect of a signed legal document, that same person might shoplift, or embezzle from their employer, or steel towels from a motel, or park in Handicapped parking when not authorized, or even commit robbery.....It all boils down to degrees I guess....Like being just a little bit pregnant.....I wonder if one can be just a little bit dishonest.....It does take character and good morals to be honest...as in every aspect of life some have it and some don't....

I'm sorry that you feel you had to leave YT because of this ONE post. This was a post that I wrote, and just because YT allows it to remain on their site doesn't mean they support or disagree with what I wrote. Many people write LOTS of things on YT that I disagree with. I may keep my mouth shut or write them back in a proper manner, but I try (keyword "try") my hardest not to make anyone feel bad. Now, I know that you and I did have words before via PM, and have "made up" so to say, so I don't want you to think that I am starting crap with you again. I'm just saying, people disagree on lots of things here on YT, and this post shouldn't be your sole post for leaving. Just because you and I (and others) disagree with your opinions on allowing dogs, doesn't mean you don't have other areas of interest where we agree. I mean, you must love Yorkies if you are here! And, wouldn't this place be boring if everyone agreed? Now, I'm a teacher, and I don't like when people bash teachers on this forum or any other, but I don't hate them for having their own opinions. I state mine, and be on my way. Maybe I've enlighted some, maybe not...but I can't beat a dead horse. Right? Those of us who choose/chose to sneak dogs into places doesn't mean we are cruel people, it just means we would do anything for our pets. Wanna know something? When I wrote this thread I was living in an apt. that didn't allow pets. My security was 1 1/2 months rent ($1905). My cousin and I cleaned the entire apartment head to toe including steam cleaning the rugs. Well, we dropped off the keys and moved into our own house. And guess what? After a few months (after they repainted...a law in jersey, and inspected the apt.) we got our ENTIRE depost back! So, see, there are people who respect that rule...just not in its entirety. But, I can understand what you are talking about. I know you've probably been left with a total mess to clean up! And that's not fair! But, if you had me as a tenant (and I know you wouldn't want me since I go against the contract) but...if you did, you wouldn't know that a dog lived their! I promise!

This is why I bought a house!!! We were going to get an apartment, but it would have to be pet friendly. If I know Rocky isn't allowed somewhere, I don't bring him, so I believe the same for apartments. But I skipped the whole renting thing and just bought, so now I can have whatever I please
