Landlord cites new laws that allow him to charge extra for keeping dogs inside, residents school him by explaining the fine print that he clearly didn't read: 'Do I look like I live on a farm?'

Always read the fine print.

Landlords are always coming up with new ways to squeeze more money out of their renters. Pet fees, fumigations, dirty carpets, insulation… you name it, your landlord is going to try to increase your rent because of it. And usually they can, unless they fail to read the fine print. That's when these residents got the last laugh! Citing a new law that could force tenants to keep their pets outdoors or make them pay for fumigations and professional rug cleaning upon leaving, people started to question such an outrageous rule. Upon further inspection, they understood that this law was mostly meant to be enforced on homes with farm animals, as it's clearly inhumane to keep a dog outside 24/7. We're happy to say that all these doggos are happily sleeping on their pawrent's couches, and landlords are no richer than they were yesterday.

Even landlords have a heart. If not for humans, then they might at least have some compassion for a cute doggo. Only certain dog breeds are meant to live outside, like livestock guardians. When we were growing up, we adopted a rescue great pyrenees (which are typically used on farms as guardians). We tried to get them to sleep inside with us, but every night, they would sit and look outside, whining until we let them out. They just loved sleeping out in the open air. We tried buying them a big fancy bed and everything, but they still wanted to sleep on the porch. They were our fierce and fluffy protectors!

There's a line every pet owner has to draw in the sand when it comes to living arrangements and landlords. If the line is crossed, then you either have to move to another place or fight for your pet's right as a member of your family. You won't always win, and we've had to move because landlords don't have much accountability when it comes to their policies. It's not fun, but it's worth it to make sure your pet lives the life they deserve to live.
