Another great option for those who cannot compost at home or in their neighborhood. (I hope this is/will be replicated in other locations.)

Ouch! That’s a pretty tough clause, and indeed, totally absurd. I think I would go the “easier to ask for forgiveness” route if you could stand bearing the potential consequences.

Good luck!

“TENANT may not bring or allow animals or pets on the property for any length of time, even minutes. The ‘property’ includes the ground and all areas LANDLORD owns. An ‘animal’ is any living thing other than a human being or a plant. It includes fish, rodents, birds, turtles, cats, dogs and every other known life form.”

Yes, we can both recognize the absurdity of banning “every other known life form,” and I guess that makes keeping yogurt in my fridge a violation of my lease, too, but I don’t know what to do with a worm bin. Do I try to go for it anyway, and figure, “It’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission?” (seems to go against the principle you talked about earlier, on trying to stay on good terms and maintain a respectful relationship), or do I try to convince my landlord that this clause could never possibly hold true, and worm composting is another good exception? Or take some other tack entirely? What do you think?
