That's too bad. My place forbids cats and dogs, but small pets are allowed as long as they don't bother the neighbors. And just a couple of rats don't smell that much and they don't make much noise either.
Yeah, landlady is a bit strict after what happened that originally led her to the 'no pets' decree. Oh well. Right now I'm not really in any shape to take care of a pet, let alone myself. Painmeds have a way of doing that.
Yeah, rats can be quite a bit of effort. I mean, you need at least two, and they don't live that long, and they get health problems that mean a lot of vet visits and costs, plus the stress of giving them medications (I once had a rat that needed four different meds given at three times a day for a time, which was about as much fun as it sounds). I've rarely had a rat that didn't many vet visits eventually (including operations, diagnotistic x-rays, medication, lab tests...) that amounted to many hundred euro per rat too.

I want a rat. I really do. But landlady says no pets.

I think I'm probably going to have to wait no matter what. But I'll admire your rats in the meantime.
