Inez, I deeply empathize with what you are going through! I have had the biggest bugger of a time trying to get a place with my little ones, I even thought about posting to the list to see if there was anyone in my area who needed a roommate! The lease is up on my current place, and with the apartment I was set to move into, the landlady called me a week before I was supposed to move and said her husband (who co-owns the building) said no animals, no way, after she had already said yes. There's another complex near me that is always shouting about how they're a "pet-friendly" community, so naturally I checked them out. Rude surprise, here is there "restricted pets" list: "No snakes, lizards, sugar gliders, flying squirrels, chinchillas, FERRETS (capitalization mine), reptiles, amphibians, rodents or venomous animals of any kind." Oh yeah, that's real "pet-friendly," if by pet you mean "dog or cat ONLY." Inez, I wish you the best of luck in finding ferret-friendly housing, let us know how the search turns out. It's hard to believe there are still so many misinformed people out there. Rachel and the monsters who just want a place to live! [Posted in FML 5621]
