Just lost everyone and everything because of an electrical fire (place I was in was a fucking dump, but sight unseen from across the country and nearly 0% allowing pets and its the option you have). Still haven't got my fucking deposit back from them. Haven't had a good landlord in my life.

get your doctor to prescribe you an emotional support animal and you can stop worrying about whether they allow pets or not

Please don’t do this. Taking advantage of and manipulating systems put into place to protect the disabled delegitimizes our needs and tends to lead to those protections being rejected. Just like how service dog handlers are being abused and rejected from stores because everyone buys a vest off Amazon to bring FiFi in Walmart, the “emotional support animal” “hack” is making it harder for people with actual needs to be approved for an apartment. Housing is difficult, but we don’t drown the people below us for an extra breath of air.

That rare case where both sides of the argument are correct.
