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.

Don't let that fish fool you! It's going to evolve into the raging red Gyarados.

You're stupid. There was no red gyarados.

Red Gyarados (Japanese: あかいギャラドス Red Gyarados) is a term used to refer to a Gyarados that is Shiny, which is red rather than its usual blue. According to the anime, this is due to the forced evolution; the Magikarp it evolves from retains its red color, having no time to change its scale color to blue. Unlike other shiny Pokémon, the red Gyarados's existence is canon in that it is encountered as part of an event in the Generation II games and their remakes.

Wow! You guys really need to get out more often.

There was a red one that you had to catch to keep Team Rocket from catching. I forgot which version of the game it was though.

What if you force a second change that....... Nvm. I can't go along with this post. I do find the education useful for the next time I want to evolve a fish,,, but for now I must say this conversation has gone way out into left field. For those of you still reading this, I pity you. You clearly need a better hobby. I know I do.

I have a red gyarados as part of my team in SoulSilver ^_^

It took three seconds to google it. And if Pokemon makes me happy, then so be it. I can have as many virtual fish as I once and no one will kick me out of my mom's basement for it. Can someone pass me the Doritos?

In most states, fish bowls and aquariums are legally considered furniture and landlords are not allowed to deny them.

It's actually really common for landlords to disallow filled fish bowls. They don't HAVE to allow any sort of pet unless it is a service animal. (They can't disallow EMPTY ones because those are furniture. Full ones are potential hazards, if fairly rare ones.) Though bowls aren't usually much of a problem, larger aquariums can leak and destroy the floor and even the ceiling below. If you're in violation of your lease, there isn't much you can do. Eviction for a first time offense seems harsh, though. See if you can fix the problem by telling them you'll get rid of the fish--of course, you'll have to follow through, which sucks.

The one who wrote the eviction note is just stupid!

I guess he's afraid that it might leak or break when you change the water, or something :B Since I assume you have a quite large aquarium, considering it's a goldfish you have. Poor thing though that has to be alone.
