To all of the apartment and rental house dwellershelp2007-11-24 23:41:12

I want to get a bigger aquarium. I do not want to have to get rid of it when I move to an apartment or rental house. What size aquarium do apartments and rental houses generally accept without charging like a 350 dollar pet fee? One gallon.five..ten.twenty.. hundred..two hundred? I am from Texas if that helps anyone. Thanks for the help.

Answers:

I am a building owner. I will allow larger fish tanks on the first floor if the tenants will support the floor because of the weight on the second and third floors I have a limit of a 55 gallon due to weight issues. Hope this helps. And I have never asked for a deposit for having a fish tank just don't empty it every day and refill due to the expense of water.

um call your landlord and ask

I have had a 55 gallon at 4 different rental houses/apts. That was in Colorado. I have never been asked for a pet deposit for having an aquarium.

Landlords care more about pet pee or the tearing up of carpet, etc.

I would just ask first.

The landlord would probably charge by how many gallons are in the tank but I couldn't begin to tell you how much that would be per gallon. Don't get anything over 75 gallons. Also, get rental insurance just in case the thing ever breaks or gets knocked over when you are partying and a fight breaks out. This might convince your landlord to allow you to have an aquarium.

It differs from landlord to landlord - generally, they won't charge you for it, but they will ask that you get extra coverage on your rental's insurance.
