I do know you are legally bound by the Australian Constitution as well as state and local laws to submit photographic evidence of your adorable kitty to the Melbourne DT community.
Also consider “Baby Jeebus” as a name for aforementioned kitty.
Ask them how much the pet bond is. It is the most efficient way to ask permission for a pet, while also being aware that there are costs associated with it that you won’t give them hassle over.
Huh. So they aren’t. Pet bonds are definately a thing in WA, I didn’t realise they weren’t in Victoria. That site also answers your question:
Renters who want to keep a pet should:
complete a Pet request form. The renter must complete a separate form for each pet they want to keep.
give the form or forms to their rental provider
keep a copy for their own records.
The rental provider has 14 days (starting the day after they receive the form) to make a decision.
If they agree to the renter having the pet, they should give consent in writing, using the address the renter gave on the pet request form.
If they don’t agree, they should apply to VCAT and tell the renter they have done so within the 14 days. The renter can’t keep a pet while VCAT is making a decision.
If the rental provider does not respond at all within the 14 days the renter can keep the pet.
Had a chat with the housemate and she’s keen on adopting a cat!! Now to ask the REAs permish. Any tips on how to approach it?

Ask forgiveness not permission. They cant legally say no. Also Neko cat rescue are amazing! check them out.
But the problem is that they might not renew our lease then no?
