I have found that most apartments don't allow pets as well. But i have had her in two separate apartments that say no pets without a problem. Tika is so "contained," you wouldn't know she was there unless she got loose or i had her out, i haven't run into problems about no pets rules. (I don't forsee any problems in the future either, unless i get into the new zealand program for engineers) She stays in my room, so my roommates have no problem with her either and enjoy the "free" pet since i do all the upkeep. The only reason i feel confident is if there were any problems i know i have my parents, both vets, to look after her.
