Is it fair for apartments to charge a fee for pets when they charge none for children?

Q. From what I've seen, small children tear up a lot more than pets. Pets don't have crayons, paints, markers, or hands with which to throw their food. They also seem to be easier to potty train than children.
Oh, and before you mention fleas, let me remind you that children bring home LICE, which are not only harder to get rid of than fleas, but will also take up residence in human hair.
Lol, great point, vegansforever! Maybe children should be limited to children's stores since pets are limited to pet supply stores?

A. I have long said I would prefer places that allow pets but ban children rather than places that allow children but ban pets. Pets are not nearly as annoying. Of course, children are that way because bad parents let them get away with it. I strongly agree that it makes more sense to have a fee for children than for pets in rentals, and it also makes more sense to have rentals that ban children rather than pets. As for the licensing issue...it's very sad that so many places require you to get a license to own a pet, but anyone is allowed to reproduce whether they take care of their offspring or not.


How many types of pets can you handle?
Q. What kinds of pets? How do you take care? What do you do? Can you handle them all at the same time?

A. I currently have living in my house w/me: 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 green iguanas, 1 box turtle, 6 parakeets, & 2 cockatiels. I have had 3 cats +/or 3 dogs at one time before, but that seems to upset the balance. It takes a certain amount of organization, and getting everyone/everything (including yourself) on some type of schedule: feed/watering, letting dogs outside to relieve themselves, pooper-scooping, changing bird cages, cleaning iguana/turtle cages, etc. Kind of challenging at first whenever another addition is made to the "family", but in time, everything fits in and works out, just takes patience and determination. Also - I don't see how anyone who owns a variety of (indoor) pets can be a "clean freak". Vacuum, dust, mop, all you want, but by the time you work your way from one end of a room to the other, where you started at is already getting furred and feathered! Diligence is the name of the game, but you can make yourself crazy trying to live in a sterile environment!


Why is it hard to find apartments that allows pets and is close to college campus?
Q. Is it because people don't want pets by busy streets? I swear, its impossible to find one.

A. The reason is that many landlords are wary of the potential damage those pets could do. Some pet owners are not remotely responsible for their pets and let them destroy places. I've known landlords who have been left with apartments with urine and sh*t stains and smells, scratches on the walls and wooden doors and also chewed up corners on the walls or on other stuff around the house. Unfortunately some very irresponsible pet owners have ruined it for future tenants who are responsible pet owners.

Even with a pet damage/security deposit, some landlords still don't feel comfortable renting to people who have pets because the damages might exceed the deposit and some tenants who bail end up disappearing.


What is the difference between sims 3 pets and sims 3 pets plus?
Q. I want to buy sims 3 pets, but I don't know which one would be better. Pets plus is $50 and regular pets is 40. I want to know what is a better deal. Thanks(:

A. The difference is that the Sims 3 Pets plus has the original Sims 3 in it AND the Sims 3 Pets. If you don't already have the Sims 3 and want Sims 3 Pets, this is what you would get. Just get the regular $40 one. Hope this helps!!
