Sherri VittatoeMy two cents: I am a manager and our mgt company allows all breeds and sizes. What we do not allow are aggressive dogs. If the dog (any breed) cannot be controlled on leash or at our dog park, they are not allowed. (Knock on wood) 4 years here and we have had no problems.
I’ve also been in the business a really long time and have watched fees and pet rent climb to the point people are punished for having a pet. No fee = Less Liars. I feel like the pet fees have become too high! We charge for damages anyway. We should all require renter’s insurance with an animal clause (pet or ESA) that covers any damage and get rid of the fee and just collect the nominal pet rent to cover the cost of pet bags throughout the community. We use Pooprint at registration and then charge a $200 fine for any dog waste - pet or ESA. They still have to follow the rules.
We are “depositing & Feeing” the residents too much!
