Hrm how ironic...
I've not been on PT for a while now *hectic at home lol* and I saw this thread first thing! I find it ironic because I am in the process of getting an apartment and it's REEALLLY hard in this area *Reno/Carson City Nevada* to find a place that will allow dogs/cats. Rodents *mice/rats etc.* fish and even Farrets don't generally fall in the pet category even in apartment complexes around here. I'm glad my mom decided to take my puppy because the average increase in rent from a home/apartment that denies pets *dogs in particular* and one that accepts them is roughly $100-$200 depending on the place. I know of only ONE apartment complex in town that allows dogs and that place is constantly a trashpile and is really unsafe *lots of crime* The dog owners there are really irresponseable too. The whole complex reeks of dog fecies and urine...ugh. I'ts people like that who basically force other complex managers/owners to say "No pets!"
Leave it to rotten apples....
When my parents had a rental property the renters TRASHED the place hardcore...and they DIDN'T have pets.
What I'm basically getting at is don't always blame the animals Humans are the ones supposedly responseable.
