We also had an all-inclusive pet addendum in the lease that outlined policies regarding pet waste, barking/noise, pet damage to the unit, etc.

We are looking to be away  from neighbors because they love to bark.

I have a multi-unit in Baltimore who recently acquired new neighbors.. they have two pit bulls who are in the yard 24/7 and whenever anybody is outside they lunge at the fence growling and barking to no end.

The dog appears to have a very quite manner and didn't even bark or show any aggression when I was at the apartment doing the repairs (which is a good sign).i do think that I can ask for a pet deposit and monthly pet rent (which is stated in the lease). 

I've barked up those trees and have gotten nowhere.

Sometimes it gets people off their bark-a-lounger and involved but many times people spend the money only to find out they need one on one help through a couple of transactions to have the knowledge and confidence to actually be successful.

With dogs, if they  have a tiny dog, tiny dogs BARK, and BARK.. and BARK... ( my irresponsible sister has 2 chiwawas (sp), I think to date she's been kicked out from 3-4 apartments because of their barking)... also, because they are tiny dogs, people often leave them out and do pee-pads... which is great, if they are perfectly trained.. most aren't, so if you have carpet... expect to replace it. 

The thing is the place looks in awful condition, but I'm wondering may I be barking up the wrong tree because these are already investors that own the property?

Everything checks out on it except that the driveway leading up to it on the side is a dog kennel and when you drive by all the dogs begin barking.

So you really need to take dogs case by case my two are couch potatoes ..and don't even bother to get up and bark.
