You "barked" back at us when we did, hence the conclusion by George that you don't take advice well.I have a question for you (one that I bet many of us have, but I'm going to ask it):  Did you come here for advice, or for a pat on the back? 

Have you stayed there overnight to see how the barking is?

As a landlord, my preference is a small dog whose bark is disturbing the other tenants or the area in general,  but I wanted to get y'alls perspective on the sentiment concerning ESAs in DC.Aside from the above we've started our apartment search so any recommendations would be appreciated.

I don't take dogs that bark insesantly either. 

They are still subject to common animal rules (no barking, on a leash or under owner control outdoors, clean up after them immediately, etc.)

Then we went black bark, finished our front yard fence & got things looking decent.

But what about the barking? 

In other words, with this letter, you should show enough teeth in the bark that they'll fear the bite, and hopefully throw you a bone (at least part of what they owe).Since you're already in possession of the property, you'll want to discuss with your attorney how to take them to court and get a judgement for the money they owe you. 

If I allow pets they want more or they bark figuratively speaking.
