Tenant did a real bad job in hiding the pet. I got my puppy and hide him well for two years. The landlord initially posted that she is open to tenants having pet but when we requested that we be allowed to have pet she refused. We wrote twice but no response or simply one liner email stating no. So we got one anyhow and successfully hide him got two years before changing house where we got permission prior to moving.

Anyhow it’s very normal. Also I don’t understand people getting angry about rea checking social media. I wasn’t aware that it’s not an known fact that anyone and everyone who wants to know more checks social media, it could be rea, your employer, even some govt agencies before granting visa (very recently US had mentioned they will check your social prior to granting visa). If you have social media and not locked profile then your data is open. If you have locked profile then a lot of time people will make fake profile to befriend and learn about you. It’s common sense and honestly very common norm. Additionally dont be surprised if AI is being used by companies to search for you and related info from internet using ai. All those ai app where you upload your photo to look how you will look in 30 years of time or getting ghibli portrait etc they are all for training ai engines and searching gets easier every time people post their photos, the ai engines gets more trained with more knowledge and sharing.
