Queensland right? As of last year qld got pet protections, can only refuse a request with appropriate reason (required containment & health considerations), 14 day auto-approval if no response

:isaac-pog: YES thank you! :party-cat:
Edit: Oh my god that article is so whiney.
But the Real Estate Institute of Queensland said the bill could be "the final straw" for some investors and might prompt them to sell.
Lmao
the bill could be “the final straw” for some investors
:knifecat: :yes-hahaha-yes-l:
landlord apologists believe the building ceases to exist if landlords sell it, every landlord could be expelled from society and everyone could just be given ownership of where they live and nothing bad would happen. i say its extremely good when capitalists flee regulation unfriendly to them, unless you allow them do demolish their former property it will all still be there for the people to use.
We all know that animals cause damage
Ah yeah all that damage a 4kg cat can cause. It’ll pick at the precious carpet that hasnt been replaced since 2004.
and we all know that you can enter a house and know immediately that a dog's been in this house or a cat's been in this house because of the odour
A gentle reminder you should be replacing the carpet between tenants

landlords? doing work? or even paying for someone else to do it rather than just letting shit get worse?
fucking impossible
how dare you even suggest that
do you hate freedom
Well, they can also scratch through that cheap-ass new drywall that all newer buildings are now using, even "luxury" apartments that are that gentrifying grey.
ive had cats my entire life and have literally never had one scratch up drywall. I’d maybe believe a dog would do it but it would make me wonder what’s in the walls that theyre trying to get at…
My cats back at my parents' house did that, but they own the house. When I adopted kittens, they'd scratch the wall after using the litter box, but I nipped that in the bud by getting a litter box with a top on it.
My sister's dog ate a hole through a door because of separation anxiety, never really had a cat do much damage either.
Dress them in tiny clothes and say it's your small hairy child
Tell them there is a stray cat that keeps bothering you and they need to pay to have it removed.
They gonna look the other way and pretend they don't notice it.
dont underestimate the petit bourgeois hatered of animals, you may get a bunch of stray cats killed doing this
on the other hand my landlords lack of interest in fixing shit is a powerful force
of all the pets one might have, if a landlord pushes back against a cat it means they are the worst kind of unreasonable asshole and it's legal to threaten them with and visit upon them extraordinary violence.
If you have ever been diagnosed with any kind of anxiety or depression etc… you can get a permit to have an emotional support animal and then the landlord is bound by law to allow you to have one
