Yeah, just tell them that you just got it. Birthday present or adopted him or whatever.
As an fyi, they might expect you to pay a pet security deposit too (like $250), in addition to the extra monthly fee. |

Do you know which day(s) they're going to inspect? |

Seriously. |
srsly. Drew's cool. i don't want him to die. :(
i think i'm just gonna go into the office on Saturday and talk to them face to face. i hate dealing with the office bitches over the phone. |

| the company they are hiring to do that has nothign to do with the leasing office/apt. complex policies, it's basically subcontract work, and they probably wont have a clue about their pet policy, so don't sweat it. if anyone asks, your mother is in europe for 3 weeks and you are cat sitting. end of story. |

sooo, as many of you know, i got a kitten... BUT... i never told my apartment complex about it. now i found out they're doing "annual inspections" next week and replacing our smoke alarms and they're obviously going to see the kitten when they go into my apartment.
i was going to call up and speak with the sweet lady who i dealt with when i signed my lease, but she doesn't work there anymore, and most of the other women that work in the office are bitches.
so i'm basically ed, i'm gonna have to let them know, and i'm gonna have to pay the extra amount per month to keep my kitten there... but i'm just trying to figure out the best way to approach the situation so that i don't get in trouble for having the kitten there without telling them first.
best thing i can think of is to say that i got a kitten as a birthday present last week, and that i just haven't had a chance to call and tell them yet.
any ideas?

Check the statutes dealing with landlord tenent relations in your state. Chances are they can't do ! I know that's the way it is here.... if you have a pet they can deny renting the place to you initially but if you're already in they can't evict you. |

23rd-27th... no idea which day they'll hit up my building though!
if i knew which day it was i could easily find a place for him to go for one day, even a kitty day care or something... but i don't know how to find out what day they're going to come into my place without sounding guilty when i ask them. |

| They do these inspections once a year, so im sure someone will take in your kitten for the day ( assuming you know what day ). |

that's actually not a bad idea... but how do i know for sure that they're subcontracting? i think they're probably just having their maintenance crew or whatever do it.
the cat-sitting excuse might be good though. |

Good point. The most management will do is let them in to your place, it's not them doing the actual inspection. |

Pretty simple, really.
Just say that, "The evil Baron Harkonnen introduced a poison to me by coating my coffee beans with the residual poison developed by the late Piter de Vries, which I later ground and imbibed.
By milking this kitten each day I receive my antidote. I must care for it if I wish to live."
then fall on the ground and fake a seizure. call to your kitten weakly, saying, "mommy...mommy needs her medicine...come to mommy."
at least that's what i'd do |
