Poets are high maintenance and tend to leave a mess.

Poets do have a problem with fire. Speaking as someone who struggles with water boiling on stove, candles, and the like…

I assume it’s supposed to say no pets? But funnier this way. More important than the no smokers, too, evidently.

Understandable really, all that angst, you can never get it out of the soft furnishings

Commenting on the tweet, many people wondered if there was a typo in the advertisement and instead of “No poets”, the renting party wanted to write “No pets”. Echoing this sentiment, a Twitter user wrote, “I assume it’s supposed to say no pets? But funnier this way. More important than the no smokers, too, evidently.”

Many others jokingly agreed to the renter’s ‘No poets’ condition. A Twitter user wrote, “Poets do have a problem with fire. Speaking as someone who struggles with water boiling on stove, candles, and the like…”.

This is not the first time that the odd terms and conditions required for getting into a rental agreement have made the news. In April this year, a woman who was house hunting in Bengaluru shared how she was asked to fill a questionnaire that included questions such as who was her favourite Marvel hero or which member of the FRIENDS cast did she share a personality with.
