Go visit all the other new/newer buildings around there to see what amenities they offer like dog washes/automation/business centers/fitness centers/package lockers/etc and compare the rents.   

Then there are calls about all sorts of minor stuff - and just odd behavior, like calling the gas company at midnight because they thought they smelled rotten eggs….. getting our gas shut off for a day, bringing over questionable house guests, bringing over a small dog and housing it without asking, and just overall kind of being a mess.

It’s not intended to address tenant screening or defaulting issues, and I can see why it might not seem relevant to your concerns about tenant behavior and payment habitsTo answer your question,I fully own a couple of companies and hold partial ownership in others with real estate portfolios totaling over $100 million in market value, but I try to keep an open mind and learn from both sides-whether it's through advocating for better tenant practices or working with property managers.

I’m also a dog lover and mom to a beautiful Yorkie boy who brings me so much joy.I’m a lifelong learner who loves reading, exploring new ideas, and being part of communities that bring out the best in me.

A service animal can only be a dog or a small horse (no joke.)

Along with my wife, 2 yr old daughter, and one yr old son, we have two large dogs that stay indoors with us. 

During this same time period my wife and I both quit our jobs and started a dog-walking company.

I wont go into details about that place, but i wouldn't feel safe walking my dog there at all.

You can't change the behavior of a person.

It would be like being trained by a neighbor on dog walking and them giving you a piece of paper calling you a certified dog walker.
