I got a new pup at my apartment and didn’t pay the pet fee (OH)
hey all!
I got a puppy a week ago and my lease ends in August which is less than 3 months away and I haven’t paid any pet fees. It’s a $300 non refundable deposit and $35 a month. I feel stupid paying that when I’m literally moving so soon. I honestly also forgot about the pet fees when I bought my puppy. My pup hasn’t caused any issues and he doesn’t shed and hasn’t been too loud and I constantly keep everything clean. If I leave him he barks or whines for maybe 8 min max or less and then falls asleep. The only time he’ll bark for a consistent few minutes is if I’m leaving him alone in his crate but other than that, he doesn’t bark much. He’s a really good dog. The thing about this complex though is it’s HUGE and it is a pet friendly complex. SOOO many people have dogs here of all shapes and sizes and you’ll constantly see people walking their dogs and you’ll hear barking a lot of times. It’s a complex of 4 huge buildings and it’s about 2-3 years old. Something I noticed is it seems a lot of things slide because there’s kids from other random developments that cause misery and trouble to all the residents and they use our amenities and swim at our pool and it took them a while to do something about some things but they still come. Another annoying thing is one time they even forgot to send a maintenance person for me. There’s people in the grilling area by the pool setting fire alarms off because they smoke everything up and there’s even multiple people smoking weed from their balcony and smelling certain areas up. I really wonder if there’s people here that don’t pay the pet fee and “ secretly “ have a dog. I have never had any issues here but I’m overthinking it. I want to add again, the complex is so huge that the maintenance people have to drive golf carts around the whole place. So I don’t know give me your thoughts, people. Please be nice about it and don’t judge because I don’t think I’m an asshole for not paying this fee. My husband and I always pay rent on time and never cause any problems.
