Maybe try to respond to tour landlord and officially ask for permission in writing. Offer to carry renters insurence in exchange for keeping your tank. Renters insurence is pretty cheap and maybe they will allow you to keep your tank.

side note: if dogs, cats, birds, horses etc can be support animals, why can’t fish tanks?

Water damage is worst then dog, cats, bird. Horse you need a stable which is not allow residential. Water damage can cause molds which might if another / future tenants complaint can cost up to $10,000 to remove and rebuild.

I understand that. But many people keep fish tanks in rentals.

I’m a broker and own and operate a property management company in South Bay. I let people with renters insurence keep tanks (but maybe I’m bias because I have tanks) I fully understand the potential of damage.

most of the time landlords just want tenants to follow the terms of the lease, and doing something without permission prompts me to send letters. But if tenant makes attempt to make things right and it’s acceptable to owners then I would allow. All I was saying it to open the dialogue between landlord and tenant to see if there is any options. I know how much I love and enjoy my tank, I hate to see a fellow hobbyist have to shut down there’s. And my tank does help my “mental health” lol

so many people keep mean and destructive pets- under the guise of “emotions support” animal. And landlords have a hard time not allowing said pets with a legit dr. Note. I’m just curious why a fish tank wouldn’t do the same for people. For dogs/cats: a letter from a mental health professional saying that keeping the dog/cat is benificial to ones mental health is basically all you need to keep a pet in a non-pet property. But a fish tank I believe can be just as beneficial as a dog or cat in my opinion.

Current landlord and former insurance agent. This is a very common misconception. Renters insurance will not cover damage to the property from a fish tank. The property owner has a business policy on their property that would cover damage from the tank if there was a failure, and the damage was such that they filed a claim.

Renters insurance covers the renters property, basically anything they move into the dwelling. It does not cover damage their property does to the dwelling. There are a few coverages for bodily injury, and some for property damage.

Some policies do have specific property damage included, but it is likely that the renters policy would only cover the landlords deductible to their insurance and not the actual loss.

If you are acting as a property manager and looking to protect your clients I would ask your renters with fish tanks to get a letter from their insurance company stating that if the fish tank breaks, or does damage to the property that they will cover that loss. If the agent produces it, they are on the hook for it, from their E and O insurance.

The reason many landlords do not want water filled furniture is because our policies exclude it. If a fish tank or a water bed break on a second floor unit that can easily involve moving out and putting up tenants in the adjacent units. That might involve putting up 4 or more families in a hotel for a month, loosing that months rent for all units, as well as costs to remediate the damage.

It is just far easier to say no aquariums over a certain size.
