I have been renting an apartment unit through the workforce housing program offered in my city (St. Petersburg, FL). This program offers reduced base rent prices based on income brackets, ppl in household, unit, etc.

My lease is up in August and I recently learned that during the cities annual review of the program, the base rent for my specific unit and situation has been lowered. I still fall within the income bracket to qualify and you have to get reapproved during lease renewal.

My apartment complex claims that renewing leasers are not subject to the lower rates and must pay the original approved rent even though they are re-evaluating your income when you renew. I’m not familiar with how city policies and laws work with this but is this right?

My rent has been $2035 for my lease and the new rent determined BY the city for the affordable housing program is now $1899. If approved to renew I feel like I should be entitled to the reduced rent that the city has reviewed and determined to be desired number. My understanding is the landlord can’t alter these rates for the program

Would love some insight and advice on how to proceed

I’m a 26 year old living in an apartment by myself. I would like a Cavapoo but with proper training will it eventually be able to tolerate 8 hour workday absences 3 days a week? I keep reading about this breeds susceptibility to separation anxiety and every posts implies that you basically have to be at home with it all the time lol

Are there any experiences out there where this is not the case? Obviously you don’t want to leave any dog alone longer than you have to but like don’t people work? Or do stuff? I’m a homebody that goes out on occasion and I WFH Mondays and Fridays so in my mind my schedule should be pretty accommodating to a dog. But I keep seeing people say they can’t leave their dog alone for 2/3 hours and that seems bizarre to me.

(I’m asking about adult Cavapoos and understand training will take more presence and time)

Are there are mild allergy sufferers here that have experience with Cavapoos?

I have had reactions to certain dogs and fine with others. Also have had reactions to certain dogs and none on different encounters with the same dog later on. Symptoms are only ever the standard itchy/watery eyes and some nasal congestion so I would consider my allergy on the mild/moderate side.

I know no dog 100% hypoallergenic but I really want a Cavapoo and was wondering how others with allergies have fared. Figured being a smaller dog in addition to less shedding gives me hope. Thanks!
