I offered my landlord $100 a month to be allowed to have a cat. He said no because he would prefer that I move so he can raise the rent.

Land Lords are the dumbest leeches

You're so close to the answer, yet you can't bring yourself to do it, which is the whole problem:

Tell your freeloading cat to get a god-damned job. If your relationship can't withstand that level of honesty, you guys have deeper problems.

Give your landlord a bill for mice hunting services.

[–] three@lemmy.zip 51 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Simply don't tell them you have pets.

afaik in germany you can just get a cat even if you signed that you wont get any pets at all and they cannot do anything about it ... unless someone closeby has cat hair allergies etc

dogs are a different story

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I looked into it, and the law is fuzzy, because it states that you are allowed to have “small animals” but it never defines what a small animal is

[–] starchylemming@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

it seems it basically boils down to them having a damn good reason for the ban or it doesn't hold in court

hard to find a good reason to ban a small house cat compared to a dog

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah at least in Canada, a landlord can't kick you out for having a pet so you just dont say anything :)

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

If your tenant has a moose or a bear, then he's in charge now.

Wait what? You can pay people to cuddle you?

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, I just looked that up online.

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Technically they were mousing professionally long before they were emotionally prepared for cuddles with us.

The things americans invent to make other peoples lifes hell is incredible

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Oh I thought you meant sending pictures of your pet when they interrupt an online meeting. Is that called cat tax? Anyway, your cat may not have a job but it can pay in tasteful nudes.

[–] Cassanderer@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 days ago

Idk society is really down on kitty porn...

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 21 points 2 days ago

So was I, and I still had to pay bills.

[–] CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

We need UBI for pets

Why does it look so happy on this picture?

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

Because he unemployed.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 22 points 3 days ago

"Monetize that baby!"

[–] nroth@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

This is typically for insurance. Some don't insure against pet damage, but even a well-qualified tenant's pet can cause damage that the tenant themselves would be unlikely to, and this can easily exceed the deposit. This type of liquid damage is typically not covered by rental property insurance and can be very stubborn (think, odor).

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Literal rent seeking

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Your cat should claim unemployment benefits. Socialism. The answer is socialism.
