| My parents want to move closer to us, in Arlington. They're on a fairly limited budget - could afford rent of no more than $3,000/month. They would be able to qualify for income-based senior rentals, but the problem is that they have three small yappy dogs and the senior complexes around here limit units to one dog (or none). So we're looking at non-senior rental communities. I can't find information on websites about the number of dogs that they allow, but every place that I've called so far allows one or two at most. Anyone know of any affordable options around here that would allow three dogs (and be tolerant if they bark a lot)? |
| Your parents need to train their dogs. No one wants to live anywhere near 3 yappy dogs. It's incredibly rude. |
Yes, I know. I'd strongly prefer that they rehome the dogs. But they refuse to do that. They currently do not have neighbors nearby, so it is not a problem. But they are getting older and can't be so isolated. |
| They need to rent a townhouse or a SFH. No apartment neighbor should be subjected to multiple yappy dogs. |
| Townhome communities are very tight quarters. I hate hate hate the endless barking. Please don’t inflict this on people. |
| They can't rent until they get rid of the dogs. Military families have the same issues and the only solution is to buy. Private owners don't want 3 dogs either. |
| Rent small house for 3K. |

They can't be that poor. They own three dogs.

3 dogs on a limited income? |
Ad says that it accepts dogs on a case-by-case basis. I doubt that three yappy dogs would be such a case. |
Small dogs are okay in single family house. |
This should be the only option. Can you imagine the three yapping dogs in an elevator of an apartment complex? |
Are they housebroken? And what if the next door neighbor complains to the landlord about constant barking. I’d tell them to either stay where they are or get rid of the dogs. You cannot solve every problem for them. |
This is, unfortunately, not that uncommon among the limited income set. Dogs become a substitute for therapy, despite the fact that they have difficulty affording to care for their dogs (and yes, usually its multiple dogs). Your parents need to pare down to one dog. |
