fish or a bird, or something in a cage. Its not fair to dogs and cats to keep them enclosed in a tiny space. I have an aquarium in every room of my apartment(4)( I live in basement suite in my son's house) and am considering adding a few upstairs at my son's house. I've already given him 3 of my house plants. He has bearded dragons, also in an enclosure, and some of them are very friendly

aquariums can add a nice look to your place. they can be expensive to run though (larger aquariums) i have a 40 gallon and have spent almost 100 bucks on filters in the past 6 month cause they keep breaking. you can always buy just a small 10 gallon aquarium kit that comes tih everything in it too. of if your not a fan of the fish then a rodent could be another alternative such as a guinea pig. I used to have one. thay are so adorable! he would be running around in our dinign room area and would run up to the fridge when the fridge door opened. lol cause he knew that, that meant LETTUCE! he never bit me and was very tame and loving. unfortunately i was allergic to him but tried to provide the best for him. he lived to be about 5 which is the normal life expectancy for the animals. a chinchilla (which im looking into getting) i hear is a very good pet. they dont smell as long as you keep their cage clean and you give them a dust bath. they are nocturnal so thay may be noisy at night when running around and I read their life expectancy is 10-15 years but its not uncommon for them to live from 18-22 years. so tat would be more of a long term relationship. good luck! =)
or you can always get a small dog of a cat if your landlord is okay with it.

Female ferret. Ferret's can be litter box trained like cats, and if properly cared for don't stink like popular belief. I wash my ferrets cage completely every weekend and scoop the litter poo out every morning. I say a female because males are aggressive. Females arent in the slightest. Ferrets are affectionate and FUNNY. They are such little comedians. They don't make any noise axcept a little laugh like sound when they are really happy and trying to get you to play with them. Ferrets are the best. Oh yeah, they don't shed much either. It's pretty much seasonal. before summer they shed and that's about it.

A rat - they are very clean, require minimal space, and are intelligent, sociable animals that eventually learn to respond to their name and can even be taught a few tricks. Plus, they're easy to look after if you go away on a trip or something, just have someone come in and give em food and water (and they eat seeds and fruit/veggies). Rats also never bite, unless they are being injured.

I would pick a smal cute dog, like a papileon or a pomerian.
I live in a rent in apartment and have a medium sized dog. A australian sheperd.
