Today, I came home to an eviction notice after an apartment inspection. The reason? Having an unauthorized pet that could cause unnecessary damage to my suite. My pet is a goldfish. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home to a lease violation and a $220 fine after a routine pest control visit. The violation: my single beta fish in a small bowl. FML
Today, it was confirmed that the "no pet rule" in my apartment complex is so strict that I'm not even allowed to have sea monkeys. FML
Today, my apartment complex added $250 to the $1,000 my roomate and I already owe because of an unauthorized pet and complaints from neighbors that our dog barks all night long. We don't have a dog, we don't even have a pet. FML
Today, I was able to land a nice apartment solely based on the fact that my puppy is potty trained. During the required pet interview, my dog 'got sick' and defecated all over the apartment office. I now have to clean the mess knowing that I will not be allowed to live there. FML
Today, I called the landlord about the mouse I keep seeing in my kitchen. He wasted no time accusing me of keeping it as a pet, and went off on me about his "No Pets" policy. FML
Today, I got home from work to find an eviction notice taped to my door, stating that I was a nuisance and had 30 days to vacate the property. I live at home with my parents. FML
Today, while doing some spring cleaning, I found the remains of my goldfish, which I was sure my cat ate last year. FML
Today, I woke up to shit on my floor and my cat hiding under my comforter. I have to get rid of my new fish because my cat is afraid of it. FML
Today, I bought a new goldfish. While leaving my fish on my balcony to go get fish food, I hear a loud squawk and splash, I race outside to see a bird flying off with my fish. FML
Today, my sister presented me with an "official pet killer" award after yet another goldfish under my care died of unknown causes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, Nemo and his friends did make quite a mess of the dentist office when he tried to escape. Could happen.

Unauthorized is unauthorized. Your fault.

Joking aside, what kind of damage will a God damn goldfish do to be worthy of getting evicted?

I completely disagree.. A fish should not ( and most places they do not ) even qualify as a "pet".

Lots of apartments don't allow fishtanks in fear of water damage. Some allow you to have them with an additional deposit or having rental insurance.

Ever had a 50 gallon fish tank break? Also any tank over 10 gallons should have floor reinforcements under it or it can damage the floor and support beams. Fish also raise humidity which can lead to mold issues. Even if goldfish is small right now, land lord is thinking ahead. Goldfish get huge.

The inspector is probably just jealous you have a goldfish..

Goldfish can be dangerous have you not seen that episode in South Park when Stan gets a crazy fish???

Wait...an after inspection? Were you in the Suite when that happened? Because what I know about Canadian Law that I have taken in school. The landlord or even the Tenant are not allowed to enter your Suite or even Apartment without your consent. They can't nonchalantly walk to your place and inspect the whole area. That is illegal.

They can enter to do an inspection without permission so long as 48 hours written notice is given.
