not me facing homelessness problem unable to find a place that allows a pet. My bad for having a sweet little girl for the past 15 or so years. She is so cute. I love her so much.
There is this incredibly small duplex in my small 4k population town and even that place doesn’t allow pets. Oh and even if I do find a place, it will end up costing 50% of my monthly post tax income. Yayy!!
Fuck landlords. Squeezing every last ounce of happiness and money and resources out of people for profit.
On a semi related note, death to whoever was the first to come up with the concept of pet rent.
Does your area have Emotional Support Animal protections? Here it’s built into housing discrimination. My psychiatrist submitted a letter saying that my dog helps in X ways, a pet screening company verified it, and my landlord had to allow him in an apartment that otherwise doesn’t allow pets. No deposit and no monthly fees, just a yearly recertification.
This seems like a great approach. Unfortunately, unless I have misunderstood something, it seems I would have to be first diagnosed with something that would give cause to needing an emotional support animal. It does not seem like I would be able to do this in a timely manner. Once I get any place though, I’ll definite pursue this to prevent any further issues of having a pet.
To that end I’m not sure what kind of diagnostic process would be necessary. My letter just says that I feel depressed, anxious, and less tied to a routine when I don’t have a pet to focus on. The dog provides companionship and stability. That was enough for the pet screeners to check the box.
Good luck comrade.
