Wes Glass Tenant sneaks in pitbull as ESA after signing a lease for a no animal property!
21 February 2024 | 23 replies
Based on their overall application (credit score, references' comments, etc.), I'm able to make a determination whether to rent to them or not.If they later move an ESA into the unit, they may be evicted based on the lie in their application, not on the fact that they have an ESA - but that's my take on the matter.

If you don't have the "dough" you don't have the "go".Based on what you are saying you will need 20% down payment for a rental + closing costs + operating reserves (in cash).Most people will not have this--some will do what they need to do to get it--some will not, some can not.A good first step might be to save up as much as you can for a year in a special savings account--by living frugally for 12 months.Then explore down payment assistance programs in your area for first time home buyers of a primary residence--if you qualify (and the home is in a good area for your 'Family" vs Gunshot Alley, then buy a home for yourself and your family.Getting on the track of being a homeowner will give you some additional strength, after a few years of ownership, re-asses your situation.Or work 2 jobs and save the 20% down, closing costs and operating capital you will need, but if you do that and your wife divorces you for it, then you will be in a worse situation than you are now.In the mean time, [1] read Rich Dad Poor Dad, and [2] have fun with your family doing things together (while you have the time), rent a boat for an afternoon, go on a pic-nick, hike in the woods, etc...
