If a drug dealer tenant locks a dog in the kitchen 24/7 and the dog freaks out because she's trapped and alone and tries to claw her way out, what you have is a human problem, not a dog problem. 

and the Humane Society got a nice donation...then 20k down on a cute coastal home that cash flows over $600 a month net!!!   

This line of work does not improve one's opinion of the human race.

The way I interpret the laws in my state, animals do not have housing rights, only humans.

The bottom line is that the dog doesn't know the kid is just trying to get his ball back, all he knows is that the human being is trespassing on his assigned territory, or a possible threat to his pack.

It's just human nature. 

It's human nature. 

You're talking to a human on the other end of the phone who probably gets paid a fraction of what you do just to get yelled at by disgruntled customers.

Fads will always make money for those who institute them because humans are, basically, sheep.

Study human nature; this is a people business.When inheriting tenants, first introduce yourself in a friendly manner to all of the tenants.
