One of the things Austin talked about in his post was renting a place with a dog, which is what a lot of pet owners struggle with. This is because some landlords view larger companions as disruptive and likely to cause damage. “It’s difficult but do-able. Many apartments have restrictions on ‘aggressive’ breeds. So, the few times I’ve had to apartment-hunt, my list was always extremely small because I’ve been limited to properties that accept German Shepherds.”
