Really and seriously. Why is it so hard to find a pet-friendly apartment?
Most apartments seem to not allow pets at all, or at best require approval for a newly acquired animal and will deny your application if you have one already.
Where I live is "pet friendly" but a sublet with a cat already in it, and came with a rule basically saying "no new pets unless my cat dies"
I can understand that pets sometimes cause damage, and that allergies in adjacent apartments could mean walking your dog impacts your neighbors' quality of life more than it would if you had detached houses. At the same time, though, I hear tons of complaints from people moving that they can't even take a short-haired cat to a new place unless they're willing to drop an extra grand per month on rent. What gives? Is it a money grab or is there some reason so many landlords forbid animals?
