Their pet policy is scientifically inaccurate.
They list that "poisonous animals" are not allowed on premises, with two examples listed. Those examples being tarantulas and piranhas.
This is objectively funny.
Neither of those animals are poisonous. Tarantulas and piranhas both are eaten where they are native to. Only one of those animals is venomous. Piranhas are neither poisonous, venomous, nor dangerous. Hollywood has painted them as some vicious man eaters, and many of the people who want to own them often think of them that way as well. Piranhas are cowardly, in the same family as tetras. A large portion of their diet should be vegetables and fruits, something people often overlook and do zero research in. What does the manager think people are going to do, ninja star a piranha at someone and they get their nose chomped off?
The only thing that I can imagine is that in order to properly care for piranhas you'll need at least a 125 gallon aquarium, which is larger than most landlords will allow. However, why didn't you just ban aquariums of that size? Why single out piranhas specifically? Why not Niger triggers or other fish that require tanks of that size? Also, why call them poisonous? Absolutely bizarre.
How can anyone trust that these people are properly running their establishment and have all their legal ducks in a row if they can't even Google the information they are putting in their lease?
Poisonous piranhas. The bar for being a landlord really is low, isn't it.
