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 😻

Multifamily housing landlord here. You go to the doctor and get a letter saying each cat is an emotional support animal. Present to the landlord with application and they cannot charge you a pet deposit or pet rent for any of them. This also helps you bypass their limit of pets in the household and breed restrictions. With that, do not fall for all of the certificates you can pay for online. They will not accept them and you will be out money. It’s a scam. Make sure it’s a letter from an established doctor.

Hope that helps! You have lovely tux kitties. Glad to see they have a great home. 😃
