Is there any way to be able to keep a pet elsewhere if your apartment complex doesn't allow it?
I want to get a monitor lizard, but the place I'm moving to doesn't allow enclosures beyond 20 gallons. Is there any services or anything out there that allow you keep an animal there for a boarding fee? I know places allow you to keep boats and cars in them, how about animals?

1. Some pet stores will help you sell your reptile on consignment, meaning they will not buy it from you, but let you put your reptile on display, and will charge you a fee when it sells. You can potentially have your pet housed in the pet shop under such an arrangement by setting a high price on it and hope that nobody buys it.
2. There are pet hotels or boarding facilities for dogs and cats. When pet owners go on vacation, they can check their pets in and pay a fee and pick their pets up when they come back from vacation. It probably won't be cheap..
3. Rent a run down apartment and keep your pet there while you live elsewhere.

Yes, but why would you want to do that? That would make it someone else's per, at your expense. Get a small monitor; Komodo monitors aren't that great as pets anyway.

You really shouldn’t have pets. You know your apartment doesn’t allow pets, so you want to get one anyway and keep it in a place where it will be all alone and get no attention. That’s awfully selfish. Boats and cars aren’t living creatures. I suggest you wait to get a pet until you’re in a position to actually house and care for it. You’re the one who chose to live in a place that doesn’t allow pets.

I want you to think about this. You know that you can't have a pet, so you're going to get one anyway, which is going to cost you money up front and more money for maintaining it. And because you can't keep the pet with you, you're going to look for some place that can, which is going to cost you even more money (and this cost will be a recurring one). So you're shelling out all of this money, and for what? So somebody else can look after your pet which you can visit sometimes? You get none of the benefits of owning a pet and all of the costs. Does this sound like a smart decision?
I suggest you rethink your original idea. Maybe get a reptile that can be kept in a 20 gallon tank, so you can keep it at home. Why does it have to be a monitor lizard?
