My landlord will not allow me to have a dog, so i was thinking may be a parrot or an iguana, what's your thoughts, i am in most days.
Is it a matter of noise bothering neighbors? If so, a parrot would probably not be a good idea. Even the little ones (I had a blue-crowned conure) can be incredibly loud.wolram said:My landlord will not allow me to have a dog, so i was thinking may be a parrot or an iguana, what's your thoughts, i am in most days.

They play, they don't poop in your house, they are clean, they don't smell (any worse than a cat would at least), you can teach them things, they will cuddle with you, they have a personality, and are generally awesome (and quiet except for the occasional funny noise).
If you can't have a dog or cat, the ferret is the way to go. Birds get annoying real fast, and your neighbors will hate you. Iguanas don't really "do" a whole lot, much like the other pets that I group into that same genre, (fish, reptiles, amphibians, and small rodents without the capacity for learning).
There could be a variety of reasons for this, such as the landlord's personal preferences, concerns about potential damage to the property, or restrictions in the lease agreement.
It is possible to negotiate with your landlord, but ultimately it is up to them to decide if they will allow a dog on the property. It may be helpful to offer to pay an additional pet deposit or provide references from previous landlords.
In most cases, landlords have the right to set rules and restrictions for their rental properties, including not allowing pets. If having a dog is important to you, it may be best to look for a different rental that allows pets.
There are a few alternatives you can consider, such as finding a pet-friendly rental, fostering a dog, or volunteering at a local animal shelter. You could also consider getting a different type of pet that may be allowed by your landlord.
If your landlord does not allow pets and you bring a dog onto the property, they may have the right to evict you or charge you additional fees. It's important to respect your landlord's rules and communicate with them if you have any concerns about their pet policy.
