My husband and I have lived in the same apartment for 4 years this May. It was VERY hard to find a pet friendly apartment, but we managed to find this one and we've liked it enough that we've wanted to stay for years! It's an end unit on a triplex and we have our own little fenced in yard (the yard is bigger than the apartment) and the location is just perfect. We've been quite happy here. The owners of the triplex decided to sell the building though and, unsurprisingly, the new owners and new property management company do not want pets in any of the units. For some bizarre reason the new owners did not actually ever come into our unit so they didn't know we have pets, but I'm honest so the first thing I did when we got the phone number of the new property managers was call them up and tell them about the pets.
To make a long story short, this afternoon the property managers will be coming over to our apartment to look at it and decide if the pets look clean enough to allow us to stay in the unit. As you can imagine, this is very unsettling because I've never had people come over specifically to judge my housekeeping skills. All of the cages have been gone over with a fine toothed comb and are practically gleaming and the rest of the apartment is clean and tidy enough to be in a magazine. We've also offered to pay an extra pet deposit or pet rent or something. The building is almost 65 years old and is in pretty rough shape (I don't think the carpets have been replaced in like 10 years) but our pets have not done any damage to anything. They didn't even clean the unit before we moved in and I can guarantee it will be a lot cleaner when we move out than when we moved in! I'm really, really hoping they will let us stay and not make us move out! If they do, we have only 1 month to find a new place and move in. So, please think of us today!
