Piggies
Was set to sign a lease the other day. We’d worked it out with the broker beforehand that a bird would be able to live in the apartment with us. But when we got the lease itself, there it was in black on the white of page 8, “Dogs or animals of any kind shall not be kept or harbored in the Apartment…”
We brought this inconsistency to the attention of the broker, who all too readily suggested we toss in a carrot and alter the phrase to reflect our prior arrangement.
We signed the lease when it finally read, “Dogs or animals of any kind, except for (1) cockatiel, shall not be harbored in the Apartment…”
Yes, some animals are more equal than others.
