Serious question…

I just had to move out of my apartment where I was allowed to have cats but only 2 and had to pay $40 for each. Now I know I’m bad I didn’t tell them I had 4. But I guess I didn’t think this all the way through when I kept getting cats and now I’m up to 4. How am I going to find a place that’s going to let me bring 4 cats without being deceitful and lying about how many I have. Now I can say all day long I have the best cats, they don’t fuck shit up, ruin furniture or walls or ever go to the bathroom outside their box and never fight and are loud. Now saying all this who wouldn’t tell a potential landlord all this right? I’m just kinda stuck right now. I’m living with my sister in law who owns her condo so staying here is always an option but if I wanted my own apartment does anyone have an suggestions or gone through this with more than 2 cats. And getting rid of them is NOT an option no never ever not at all won’t even entertain the thought, don’t even type it! Thanks 😻

pet rent is an eaay way to fuck over tenants, and these cocksuckers know it. There are no laws that pertain to this fucking extortion. The only applicable laws are for registered service animals. Registered. Never mind tenants that have 12 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment who then tear the shit out of the unit. Nah, that's just fine. As an animal owner of 55 years, no matter HOW well-behaved your babies are, they can still destroy a property. Cats and dogs vomit, accidents happen. One cat we have destroyed the wood framing around the bathroom door. We have clawed and DE-clawed cats. Guess which ones do the most damage? They ate the ends of our damn wood blinds, the drapes are covered in hair and I just found out that there are snags all over them. RIP curtains.
