Can you give me ways to convince my landlord to let me have a leopard gecko?

I need oyur help only rea people who would help!! I'm really a responsible owner! hOW CAN I CONVINCE HER IN A POLITE WAY?!
Answers:
i don't know were u live but in Ontario Canada u can have a pet even though in the lease it says u cant .. it's in the law as a human right to own a pet .. but if ur lease says no dogs or cats then they can stop u from having one .. but if they say no pets they can't stop u from having fish, reptiles or birds...find out what ur human rights are in ur bylaws and then bring it up to ur landlord... or just sneak it in and hide it when the landlord comes in i know here they have to giv u a 48 hour notice b4 entering in ur apartment unless it's a emerg. hope this helps.. good luck
a small reptile should not bother the landlord.it won't hurt the place at all! i would offer to put down a deposit for damages...maybe 200 dollars.
All i can say is that you can prove to her/him in other ways that you are responsible. But if you moved in to these apartments, you need to respect their rules. Also, you probably signed a lease that states that you cant have certain animals, anyways, so it would be hard to get around.
Otherwise just get it and hope they don't notice i guess.
Has she already said no you can't have one? Most landlords don't even count "caged" pets like reptiles. read your lease %26 see what it says, you might not even need permissio
It's a lizard.
It doesn't make any noises and it can't destroy anything.
It just lives in a glass box.
It'll eat the bugs
It won't pee on the carpet
they don't make much noise
they live in a tank
your responsible
they don't scratch up the house
they're cute ^^
you'll be a polite quiet little tenant that doesn't cause problems... rofl
hahaha. thats all i got. best of luck ^^
Tell her:
1. They are small and easy to look after
2. They don't stink like dogs!
3. They don't make a racket - well mine do but shhh!
4. They'll eat all the insects
5. Get and aggresssive one it'll scare away the burgelers!
6. Give her 50 quid more for the first few weeks
if they don't work just go ahead and buy one if you really are a responsible owner which i'm sure you are!
Simple, its small, doesnt smell mainly because the pee is solid! =P Quiet whick means will not disturb other residents. Its unlikely to escape because its so lazy but don't underestimate it! Don't need to let it out so it won't bring in anything you don't want in. Whatever you do don't mention the live bugs or its a no!
tell her that owning a lizard is essentially the same as a fish, they live in a tank and dont really come out much. Tell her thta they dont make a mess, and you will keep everything clean, and that there is no smell from it.
easy...dont tell him....i have two corn snakes., two beared dragons, two frogs, and two geckos...and im not suppose to have any pets in my apartment....
Well, a Leopard Gecko isnt running around the house damaging things. They sit in a tank..how harmful is that? Just explain to your landlord how calm of an animal it is and how it "won't" come out of its tank.
p.s. Do you even have to let them know your getting one?
Good Luck!
-I might run into the same problem w/ my landlord!-
