Hi Tony
I would suggest that you talk to the property management co before you go to the expense of building a coop, so you don't get fines or more deposits thrown at you. Also if you get the coop all set up and get some peeps and grow to love them, which isn't hard ha only to be told you have to get rid of them. I also would suggest that you talk to neighbors and get their input on it, weather they would mind ect. We have a friend who had to give us his 2 chickens because a neighbor complained about his, or else he would have had to go to court pay tons of money for permits ect it was crazy. Luckily we live in the country so have no regulations on it and our neighbors love the fresh eggs. The furry lil things are addictive like lays potato chips, you cant have just one ha.

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Chicken coops for renters
Hi all, we just spent the day touring Davis, CA on a bicycle chicken coop tour and are completely sold on building a coop. As far as I know they are legal here in W. Sacramento, CA.
My concern is that we are renters and don't want to have to get "permission" to build a coop. We've been here six months and no one from the property management group has ever come out, but we do have ocassional repairman come out, for example a guy is coming next week to replace the window screens where we plan to build a coop.
I've already spent over $500 of my own money to buy lawn equipment and dirt to turn a backyard from 3 foot tall weeks to a nice lawn - and didn't ask permission. Is "don't ask, don't tell" the best policy.
I think the owners would be cool (she's a vet) but the property managers would be a hassle. I had to talk them into letting me have my dog which involved a $500 deposit.
We live on a corner and the area for the coop would have no neighbors on the other side of the fence and would be some distance from any houses. None of the coops we saw today had caused any problems with smell or noise.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, Tony
