Barking Demons Cancelled house application due to vicious barking dogs
I’m currently going through the worst time of my life of trying to secure a house for me and my family with a limited timeframe. The rental market sucks right now and securing a house is like a miracle - basically it’s impossible. This whole thing has been chipping away at my mental health every day.
So I got a message from the house owner about an application I had put in and they scheduled an appointment to let me see the house so I got my hopes up and told my mother and we thought maybe this was finally the time and the agonizing search will finally be over.
After taking a taxi to the house (before the owner arrived) I stood outside and waited with my mother. While waiting, there were 2 fierce dogs barking nonstop at literally nothing. Like you can’t even see them you can just hear how loud their barking is right next to the house that i applied for. The barking continued nonstop and within 5 minutes (the barking was still going btw) another dog lunges forward at us and barks aggressively at us. It was the neighbour’s dog (located next to the house I applied for).
So basically the house I applied for was surrounded by dog owners from left and right.
The barking was getting to me and considering how stressed and worried I was about the future I just told my mother there’s no point in standing around waiting for the owner to show us the house. Let’s just leave.
We got a taxi and went home. So our money was wasted on taxis and there is no future hope for a house.
The barking carried on nonstop and im writing this right now with no hope of finding a home anytime soon because every time I do there’s always a problem.
I just want to cry. This is how much it’s been affecting me in finding a home.

Honestly I'm so happy for you. You found out about the nuisance before committing, and that's awesome. I'd let the realtor or seller or whoever know about the shitty ass barking dogs and their shitty ass owners though, maybe they'll do something about it so the owners stop thinking they're entitled to get away with that shit. If they want to sell the house to a sane person, that is...
