OT Stupid Tech Guy or Strangers in your Home when you have Cats
I hadn't heard of these mandatory inspections before either, but I have
an older friend who lives in subsidized housing, and he says his apartment is inspected twice a year for pests, and once a year for general maintenance. Dee |

The village we live in now actually requires that landlords do so annually. I was a long term renter until my parents died and I inherited this house. It was written into the lease, the landlord (property management company) reserved the right to inspect for damage or to enter the property without permission *if* they felt there was a problem. But it wasn't a required annual inspection. I'm sure different places have different rules and regs. One thing I do know, they all had a limit on the number of pets. I paid "pet rent" to cover possible damages. In every case the lease limited the number of pets and imposed a weight limit per pet. There have been situations where people collect animals and aren't able to care for them or to keep the property maintained. Pet hoarders. Not saying 'Kitten' has this issue. But I've never heard of what she's talking about in terms of mandatory inspections. I don't trust much I hear coming out of the aioe domain. Jill |

When I was looking for a condo to move into, I only looked at those which allowed pets. When I found a suitable one, they allowed only one small pet per unit, and I negotiated an agreement with the board that I could have two. I wasn't getting rid of one of them, or putting myself in a position where I could get in trouble for violating the agreement. I was surprised how many people said "Oh, just bring two. They'll never find out." I wasn't taking a chance with it - or being so dishonest. The board is fairly flexible, though. Some of the dogs stretch the definition of "small animal" somewhat! When I was renting, the landlord always had the right to enter in an emergency, and could at other times with a certain amount of notice and my permission - I'd read the Landlord-Tenant Act, so I knew! Not that any of them gave me that kind of problem. It was just that business with the insurance company safety inspector, which I suspect was at least partly because I was living in an rundown old house in an old neighbourhood. They got a lot stricter over the fireplace during the years I lived there, to the point that eventually I was warned not to use it at all because they wouldn't pay for any fire damage that resulted. That was fair enough; I knew before they told me that it was old and probably not up to current safety standards. -- Cheryl |
