Emphasize that they are kept in their enclosures. (Maybe bring a photo of your current set-up?) They are quiet, do not smell and incapable of causing property damage (besides the fact that they are not let out of their enclosures).
Nice analysis but, in such a scenario, he still have a 'last card' to play: he could reply that, since nothing was stated/discussed/mentioned/written etc in the rules and other terms about T's (and arachnids) he simply didn't bothered to ask
Forgive me but this make no sense to me
I do understand that here enters or may enter cultural and whatever law/rule that may differ from Italy to the UK, U.S etc but what's with those 'landlord inspections' (a issue that I've already heard about, in similar threads)?
This could be okay if there is nothing in the lease forbidding all animals not explicitly allowed.Nice analysis but, in such a scenario, he still have a 'last card' to play: he could reply that, since nothing was stated/discussed/mentioned/written etc in the rules and other terms about T's (and arachnids) he simply didn't bothered to ask
In the UK as far as I am aware landlords will do a check on the property every 6 months.I do understand that here enters or may enter cultural and whatever law/rule that may differ from Italy to the UK, U.S etc but what's with those 'landlord inspections' (a issue that I've already heard about, in similar threads)?
As long as the rent is always paid in time... what's the issue with this 'surprise' property checking? Unless something happens, of course (such the 'ok' of the landlord for heavy repair etc)
Sometimes landlords like to check on their property to make sure it is being maintained in good condition and not being misused. (Nobody is cooking meth in the basement, you don't have 17 aunts, uncles, and cousins sleeping on the couches and floors, there are no leaks or fire hazards, etc.) Also, they will sometimes come over to perform routine maintenance like changing furnace filters and smoke alarm batteries, spraying for pests, or other things they don't want to leave up to the tenants.I do understand that here enters or may enter cultural and whatever law/rule that may differ from Italy to the UK, U.S etc but what's with those 'landlord inspections' (a issue that I've already heard about, in similar threads)?

Terrible
Here in Italy as long the rent is paid in time I suppose that even certain landlords would join the 'Meth basement cooking' bandwagon.
I can imagine that 10 sounds a lot better than 60 for a person that not understand the tarantula hobby. The best would to have just 1 tarantula, but who wants to sell all but 1? 10 is a nice compromize i'd say!Nice analysis but, in such a scenario, he still have a 'last card' to play: he could reply that, since nothing was stated/discussed/mentioned/written etc in the rules and other terms about T's (and arachnids) he simply didn't bothered to ask

I mean, 10 or 60 T's, in regards of an arachnophobic/spider hater person, is the same, from/for such a perspective.
Why 10 T's (saying) should be fine, but 60 no? Isn't a question of numbers in this case, plus, we know well that to a person that knows nothing about spiders you can tell him/her whatever, like that a P.irminia is potentially lethal, or that the 'Orange Bob' is harmless, and so forth.
But the point is another. Point is 'spider yes' or 'spiders no'. Obviously, asking would be logical, but the risks of a 'No way!' are presents, especially, again, due to the feeders
I agree with Chris here. I don’t think number is an issue. I wouldn’t volunteer how many, “a few” will cover it. I don’t think we’ve ever been asked how many. Just emphasize that they’re harmless, kept in their enclosures, etc. If you have a photo of a particularly decorative terrarium you could show them that as an example perhaps. And make sure they don’t apply any pesticides within the dwelling.
Is there a reason that it has to be brought up at all? If dogs and cats are allowed, I would think that pets that are capable of damaging the house far less than dogs and cats would be allowed, logically speaking. That's the main reason people have for not allowing pets...damage to the property.
On what grounds did this go to court? Was owning the animals illegal? Were the snakes and tarantulas too loud for the neighbors? Did they escape and bother the neighbors constantly?
Yes maybe! I also think presentation is aldo important! But if a landlord walks into an apartment seeing 10 neatly presented glassterrariums with tarantulas. Ir he walks in in the same apartment and seeing 100 andhundreds of enclosures stapled on each other with tarantulas in them, some landlirds may be alright with the first scenario? I think one has to educated landlirds about rarantulas and realize that not everyone likes only cats and dogs, diffrent people like diffrent kinds of animals, and one can tell him that dogs are worse in every single case in a housingproject! They are loud, they dump their feces on the lawn, and they are 1000000 times more dangerous!
This is why I've suggested to say nothing (especially if nothing is written/stated etc in the rules in regards of inverts).
