Apartment rules/laws
So I bought a pump from a nice woman from Canreef today ,and she is selling everything because she is being told that she is no longer allowed to keep a tank in her apartment. She has lived in the apartment for a couple years if I remember correctly. When she moved in she payed a damage deposit , and was told by the manager that she was allowed to have a fish tank. The rules also say that she IS allowed to have pets. Recently a new manager has taken over and told her that she is not allowed to keep a tank in her apartment anymore. The tank she had running was only a 40 gallon.
Is anyone out there familiar with the law when it comes to situations like this ? It doesn't seem right that a manager of an apartment building can make decisions like this. This woman is very passionate about the hobby and I feel bad for her that she has been forced to shut down her tank. Any thoughts ?

That sucks!
Does this lady have the permission to have an aquarium in writing from the first manager, also I would be calling the owner's of the building and see what they have to say. When I was about to move into the mobile park I live in I inquired to park manager at the time and he said I could not have our small dog. I made the application anyway and sent it to the park owners, guess what it was all approved. Turns out that manager had his own agenda. He's long gone along with his agenda. It may be worth her time to check.
Her new manager may not be able to force the issue if she was allowed in the past.

I'm not sure Laurie , I should ask her if she had anything in writing from the first manager.

tank
she might need to get extra insurance to appease the owner of the building.i would contact the owner through the property management company and state that for years she was allowed to keep fish and that other people are allowed to keep pets.

my landlord doesn't know about the 280+ gallons worth of tanks I have in the house. I mentioned I had a tank, but I never mentioned how big it was.
Lets hope he never finds out. haha. I'm also not allowed to get home owners insurance because my girlfriend and I aren't married.

I guess I should of also mentioned, there are three of us that live here. I've went to four different insurance companies for home owners insurance, and none of them will sign off on it due to increased liability. One offered us basic insurance for fire and flood (no theft), at $80 a month. Ha.

Worked in the industry doing fire and flood restoration in the past. $80 a month is cheap compared to the cost of potential repairs. A seemingly small leak from a dishwasher or tank can easily do $20,000 to $30,000 in damage. I would never go without insurance myself.

I think Neoh is a little confused as you can not get home owners insurance unless you own the home.
