The brokers work only when they want to and not because they are a hamster on a wheel trying to make a nut.

They broke the lease, if it matters whether it is a hamster or a pony it should be specified in the lease otherwise "no pets".

I wouldn't toss out a pet either, I might toss out the tenant, wouldn't even suggest they lose the pet (at least for dogs, cats or caged pets like a hamster, snakes are a different matter and that gets the tenant tossed!)

The best first step would be to get out of the hamster wheel of paying rent and start building equity.

I'm 28 and something about the corporate hamster wheel pushed the right button. 

But, I am getting tired of the rental hamster wheel after 9 years. 

Same building had guinea pigs in another unit, I am not the biggest fan of that since they can escape and do damage or die somewhere you can't get to them, but less chance of that with those than with hamsters!

any milestone to getting off the "Hamster Wheel" of working everyday should be celebrated!

Some people keep fish or hamsters.

It's been several years that I have been on the Golden Hamster Wheel of tax deferral and I still do not pay taxes on the gains or cash flow from my syndication investments.
