there is a $300 charge for "pets", but they had no problems with my tanks. and the stickler is we also have a pair of crazy monkey ass ferrets that I didn't get charged because they live in a cage.yet they roam the house when we are home.
Does no pets = no fish for lease?

"No Pets" mainly means "No Dogs".. Most landlords dont care much about cats - its the dogs that bark and run and sometimes do their business in the house. Fish, birds, hamsters, lizards etc that are always caged usually dont count towards the "no pets" rules. Just my $0.02

Best bet is to figure out which way the for joist are running, then place the tank perpindicular to them. Also next to a load baring wall is a good choice.
But if ya can't find out which way joists run and where bearing walls are then the outside wall is good.
even then your still talking alot of weight. regardless of being on an outside wall your still being supported by lumber, not concrete or block. it helps but not a for sure thing!! i would make the tank longer and get an idea of how close together the joists are and then make your decission! IMO being an experienced carpenter, wood is strong, but 1700ish lbs that will never move is a lot of prolonged stress, if your okay right away its down the road you should think about. just my 2 cents!!
It is because dogs (untrained, and lots of people have untrained dogs) **** on the floor, pee on the floor, tear up ****, some bark constantly, some are huge and intimidate (and rarely do worse) other apartment people.Dragoro;921682;921682 said:
Worst a cat will do is shed and possible claw a door frame.
I would not allow dogs or cats. However, I think, every tenant broke this rule. The cats were the worst. They always smelled up the house. Dogs always tore up the yard.
As far as the fish, water damage is the normal concern. I had one tenant that had a few small tanks. And Yes, he left me with fixing some water damage from whatever mishaps he had. In your case with the Monster tank, it is weight. Remember hurricane Katrina: Was it hurricane damage or flood damage? It was which ever you did not have coverage from!
BTW: That tenant got me started in fish when he moved out and left me his unkept tanks with the sick fish. Here are the fish that I found in the green water (after nursing them back to health.) The tender beginnings of the fish keeper I am today.

It depends on the landlord. One landlord may means no animals at all, others may mean no fuzzies or furries. Some may say no warmblooded animals. It can also means no cat and or dog.
