In a viral TikTok video, content creator Nic appeared at a loss for words, after checking her rental contract under the \u201cfees\u201d section. She shared a screenshot of the contract, which included a breakdown of her rent, and her Kansas City landlord\u2019s policy on pets. While many ban their tenants from keeping pets like dogs and cats, it\u2019s not very often that you get restrictions on fish. However, much to Nic\u2019s surprise, her contract included a clause stating \u201cfish allowed\u201d as long as they\u2019re \u201cnon-aggressive breeds.\u201d The monthly pet rent for fish was listed as $15, with a one-time fee of $200. \u201cThey\u2019re now charging pet rent for fishes?\u201d the TikToker asked in the video caption, adding that she\u2019s \u201cspeechless.\u201d In the comments, many TikTok users were just as stunned to learn that tenants require permission to keep fish. \u201cBro it\u2019s a fish. What are we even doing anymore?\u201d one user wrote. \u201cThese apartments are out of control with their fees,\u201d another added. \u201cBFFR\u2026a fish?? They literally live in a contained space and touch nothing in the apartment\u201d a third said. Others, however, said they understand the reason behind the pet rent. \u201cMy old apartment allowed pets but wouldn\u2019t allow any fish tanks. They said because the water damages in case it breaks is too much to risk,\u201d one user explained. \u201cMy landlord said her fish tank broke while she was on vacation and it was a huge tank\u2026 so kinda valid,\u201d another shared. Nic chimed in and clarified that she doesn\u2019t actually own a fish, but \u201cit\u2019s just ridiculous that they are charging.\u201d This is not the first time a landlord has left viewers divided on TikTok; previously, a landlord sparked backlash after he filmed himself doubling a tenant\u2019s rent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woman stunned as landlord charges $200 fee and rent for pet fish TIKTOK: nicr__\/Unsplash: Priyanshu ShekharA TikToker was left speechless after discovering that a landlord charges monthly rent for keeping a pet fish.
