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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I don't allow fish tanks in my apartments, they can cause serious damage if they get knocked over, you would be surprised the damage a gallon of water will do to a house

I know the feeling, my apartment complex won't let us have fish either due to possible "water damage" /le sigh

Look at what's classified as a pet in the lease agreement

Oh no! What if your goldfish bowl accidentally tips over and causes water damage? In that case, better not leave a pitcher of water sitting around your apartment, either! Plus, goldfish are so pesky! They shed too much, their poop stinks really bad, and UGH... That god awful noise they make can be so distracting to your neighbors! *sarcasm*

Here in canada you can have pets so long as they dont disturb others / cause damage. They cant stop you. A gold fish causes less damage then my kettle. Depending on where you live id fight it. Check your local laws.
