I rent a room in a shared house with friends - my friends got permission for their ferrets but i didn't ask about my snake, BD or fish. If the landlord was to come round i'd just hide the reptiles (the fish are now gone). The landlord only ever comes round to occasionally get his mail once every few months and to do an inspection just before we renew our contract. Since we are legally tenants we have the right of privacy in our own home. According to our contract the landlord must give us prior notice if he wants to do an inspection (24hrs i think). Otherwise we're allowed to refuse him because to turn up unannounced to look round our home is an invasion of privacy. You do have the right to request things to be added to a contract like 12hrs notice before an inspection etc, especially if you're going to be a long term tenant. That way if you find something thats perfect but wont allow your BD's you can still take it and hide them on inspection day
