Do you consider a tarantula to be a pet?

One of my tenants has asked my permission to get a cat, which I have agreed to, and he did the right thing in asking - its in his agreement to ask.

However its come to my attention he already has a tarantula. I dont mind this in the slightest, but I did suggest that he should really have let me know. His response?

The tarantula isn't a pet, as it doesn't leave the house or roam the house unattended, it cant leave a mess, and he doesn't stroke or pet it. Therefore its not a pet.

My logic is if it isn't a pet, then why have it? Its not like it wandered in of its own accord, and he's afraid to try and get it to leave...

His theory could also apply to goldfish, but I would still say that a tank of goldfish are pets...

So my question is, is the tarantula a pet and if so, then he's broken his tenancy agreement and I should start eviction proceedings?
