Aquarium: is that considered Pet and does it require special insurance?

Hello,

My landlord has a no pet rule, but I was planning to build up a marine aquarium (100 Liters)

Before going ask the gerance (which is pretty finicky and usually just reply NO to whatever question), I would like to understand:

* Are aquariums considered pets? Should I even ask for permission?

* Are there dedicated insurances I may offer to take (to be proactive)?

Thank you!

aquariums aren't considered pets, no need to ask permission.

Is there a written anything that I can keep to cover my ass in case they complain?

The fish?

Just make sure your insurance covers water damage in case of a leak.

Thanks, I'll try to translate it.

Of course not the fish, but yeah all the insurance-related stuff in case of leak or anything of that sort.
