I’m apparently the only one whose immediate reaction was not laughing but thinking, “that is an incredibly inappropriate way for a landlord to talk to a renter.”
I hate so much the “this never happened” crowd, but it’s at least a little relief here to believe this is faked.
Because no, that’s an awful way to speak to anybody
And that’s why y’all are lamers.
I mean Jesus what kind of pseudo fake ass decorum shit do you have to be on to argue you need to be proper when talking to fucking anyone that isn’t your stick in the mud boss.or company paper trail?
Toilets broke, fix it. Shittersclogged.jpg
Ahh so you identify as “impolite”
That’s nice 👍
No, it’s more like being able to take a joke when someone has to say no pets via text and you message back that abomination lol.
Ken can suck a dick, Frank looks like a stand-up fellow and I approve.
Yeah but that response is hilarious
He just wants to be pure
I also approve of this emotional support animal. Legally speaking, it can now stay.
The policy
hereat my area does what used to be called the Japanese No. That is to say that pets are permitted, as is everything, in exchange for an exorbitant fee.Good business sense, but in this case, cruel.
I like that. Helps you understand society better…
“How big of a ‘no’ we talkin’ here?”

Huh? The policy was “no pets allowed”. The bit about raising rent was just hyperbolic.
Ah! My apartment complex does this. Not the screenshot. Here refers to the place where I live.
Master has given Dobby a housing.
Imagine living in a country where a landlord has a say about what pets you are allowed to have. absurd.
That’s most countries, afaik. Not all owners do that, ofc, but still. Sadly, pet owners looking for rent always have a harder time finding a place.
In Ontario, Canada, landlords can reject your rental application if you have pets but they can’t kick you out so I always just lie and say I don’t have pets :)
We just lie about it, haven’t had issues so far.
Can confirm. Plastic on couch armrests and carpets rolled and stuffed in a corner to prevent cats from destroying them and that’s about it, thankfully.
Mate, that’s not normal.
That cats look for places to sharpen their claws? Or that I’m protecting other people’s property to avoid being asked to pay for them?
Wear and tear on the carpet is normal, you are depriving yourself comfort. Fluffy rugs can work. If sofas aren’t yours then that’s fair, I plonk scratching posts on the corner and redirect energy.
Ah, I see what you mean. Fair enough. And I’ve got my own rugs, yeah, place was too empty without. And yeah, got scratching posts and alternatives around, ofc.
Tbh our appartments were unfurnished.
This is de way
Tell me what you think of this, then.
In my country, an
landlordowner can not forbid pets in a house unless there are specific rules that completely prevents it (like an HOA imposition, where no animals at all are allowed in an apartment building); it was ruled by our Supreme Court having a pet is an unwaivable right the individual has.(Yes, most people ignore this and just outright ban animals.)
However, the owner of a house can demand certain conditions to be fullfilled, in order for an animal to be housed there, like the animal being registered (ID chip), licensed (paid annually), vaccinated, properly kept (cages, terrariums or whatever necessary to accomodate, safely, the animal(s)), behaviour (a dog can not spend their time barking their head off, a cat yowlling, birds screeching) and for the guardian to assume full responsability for any and all damages the animal causes.
This part is legal and most people would run for the hills if they found such a clause on a leasing agreement, as for the moment they sign it, they are legally binded by it and failling to observe any condition is legal ground for breach of contract.
Insurance on the property is usually why certain breeds of pets aren’t allowed (i.e. “aggressive” dog breeds, exotic animals). It’s not just landlords being landlords.
It’s for sure landlords being landlords.

I like Sphynx kitties, I think they’re cute, but I’m not sure how healthy it is for the breed?
Hairless cats do have certain health risks and need to be bathed regularly (once a week) In general I would advise you to not buy a specific breed, as they are more expensive and have more health problems than a general “house car” from the shelter
keep in mind it does still require regular oil changes
Wow, just think about a home big enough that one needs a ‘house car’.
SCNR.Yeah, but a lot of people with a hairless cat have one because they want a cat but are allergic. For them a rescue isn’t really an option.
For anyone who doesn’t have a good reason to need a particular breed of dog/cat, get a rescue instead.
Sphynx are not hypoallegenic. The allergen isn’t fur, but saliva. Specifically, the Fel d 1 protein (…which is also secreted from the sebaceous glands). If you get a Sphynx because you think they aren’t going to trigger your allergies, you’re gonna have a bad time.
IIRC, the Siberian is supposed to produce less Fel d 1 than most other breeds.
Huh. I used to date a witch (Black Forest Wicca, before someone thinks I misspelled another word) who told me she had one because other cats set off her allergies and it didn’t. It kinda resembled a gremlin from the movie and was a really friendly, affectionate cat if a little weird feeling to pet.
Well. The honest truth is that they’re considerably more susceptible to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and hence much more likely to die early from congestive heart failure. The same breeding that has reinforced the hairless genes has also reinforced a genetic predisposition to heart issues. (FWIW, heart disease kills a lot of cats across the board, but it’s more common in specific breeds.) As far as I can tell, they’re on-par with Maine Coon cats in regards to the prevalence of HCM, but not quite as bad as Ragdolls (which are about 1:4)
Aside from that, Sphnyx tend to get a lot of ear wax buildup that needs to be manually cleaned because they lack cilia in their ears. They also need to be bathed regularly, since their tongue doesn’t work well for cleaning skin, and they can get pretty grungy. They seem to be slightly more prone to having sensitive stomachs.
Otherwise, they tend to be very friendly, active, people-oriented cats.
We’ve had a total of 6, but have lost two to heart failure, with two more that are in the very early stages of heart failure, all at under 8 years old.
Thank you for the detailed response!
I can’t get one right now because of where I live and already own a pet, but maybe some day?
From what I read, breeding Sphynx cats is illegal in the EU or at least the Netherlands. They have a higher risk of skin cancer and the lack of whiskers comes with issues.
100% recommend a sphynx. Out of all the cats I’ve had in my life it was my favorite.
Not ugly. Distinguished.
I’m laughing tears! Thanks, as always.
Frank isn’t ugly! Come on! He’s… Well… I like him so there!
This looks like a job for the great helmsmen!
