To dontazz, Kathy, Joanne, Sue, Lynn, Kayla, Michelle, and Todd......... thanks so much for all of the replies, I was AMAZED how many people were willing to help me with my question (ferret legality in minneapolis)....... You have all given me great advice and I so appreciate it!!!!! One of you had mentioned "not mentioning" the ferrets to prospective landlords and that's actually how I got my first apartment with them, unfortunately I have terrible landlords who walk in my apartment whenever they want to (well, that's a WHOLE nother problem in itself!!!)....... They came in unannounced one day to fix something and found my ferrets and the repair guy reported me. I eventually managed to finagle (SP?!) them into keeping them, after the $900 deposit. I have since sent them the "Tenants right to privacy" information and (as far as I know) they have not violated my privacy I will definitely keep all of you posted as to what happens in the next few weeks, with the "new" place! Thanx again everyone----- nicole [Posted in FML issue 3685]
