I received a notice from my landlord citing that "several" complaints have come in about my dogs. Apparently they go out on the porch and bark at people and they are "aggressive and scary" so I have to "remove" the dogs or turn in my notice to leave.
The barking, I can handle. The "scary and aggressive" is what gets to me. Is that serious? That can't be serious. You mean my dogs whining and crying when someone walks by, because they want to play, is more scary than the huge pittbull next door who lunges at the window and barks her head off at everyone when her human companion is not home? Even I think that's scary from time to time and I happen to know that dog is sweet as pie and would never hurt anyone for no good reason.
I got this notice one day before Thanksgiving so my holidays this year are completely ruined. I have no savings to move so any Christmas gifts that I have already purchased for my family will need to be returned or sold. I will have to secure another place to live over Finals week at school, pack up my life over Christmas, and move over New Years.
MY DOGS ARE NOT SCARY OR AGGRESSIVE!!!! The landlord will not work with me on this as these are orders sent down from the OWNER. The owner has never been here...I've lived here for three years and still have no idea who owns this place. They never come by to fix things (No I'm not that sad about leaving) and they never came by to warn me or confirm these rumors.
I have a belief that it's only ONE person pretending to be multiple people. I am more annoyed by the screaming child across the hall from me than I am by the hound dog upstairs who I thought was an owl for the first month of them moving in. How can I fight this? Nothing I say seems to work.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,731,695There are attorneys who handle non-human issues like this...but it might be expensive. Perhaps you could get a free consultation.... you should at least be given a warning and be allowed to do something about it before being told to move.
Prevention is the best remedy however. Next time don't let your dogs run outside at will...even on an enclosed porch. Keep em in, and when they are out there, keep em supervised.
I know how you feel tho. I have never had anyone complain about my dog's barking, but I have lived in places where human noise was intolerable. It seems human beings can scream at the top of their lungs, play ear splitting music any time of the day or night, and/or party all night long...but dogs can't bark.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,731,695What you are not seeing is that from the perspective of those on the street.... your dogs might just seem scary to t-h-e-m. You are speculating that it "might" be one person. Most places have caller ID which would identify the caller. Instead of looking negatively at your situation, why not look at it as an opportunity for something good?
Have you attempted to get ahold of the owners of the building yourself? I would not allow the landlord to be the go-between. I would deal with them directly. How long have you had your dogs in the apartment? Use calm logic. If you can prove that your dogs have been around for years without incident, perhaps you can persuade them to see your side.

This is a reply to # 1,734,373I hope you were able to find another place to live.
When people start complaining it never stops.
Actually I am surprised that you are allowed to have dogs
in a rental.
We own a house in a street and one neighbor has complained about our dog. He can't be alone and barks, we closed all the blinds and had the tv going and we still had trouble.
Instead of getting in constant arguments we now hire a sitter when we go out and in daytime we take him in the
car wherever we go. And he is never alone on the patio.
It is extra work and cost, but in our case we can handle it.
The same neighbor is now after someone else and does not
stop, since the dog owner is in a rental (lived there for several years) she is now moving. In this case it was not the landlord that was the problem but the lady reported her to the county and the homeowners association.
Hope you found a solution because it is not healthy to live with all that stress.

This is a reply to # 1,734,628Wow. I complained and complained about noisy neighbors to my homeowners association and even to the police (human noise - day and night - large numbers of Mexican men out on their patio, which was right across from mine in a dense, condo situation, partying and drinking beer with extremely loud voices, sometimes staring before noon and going as late as 2 in the morning, ear splitting music, huge parties etc. and NOTHING was done.
And yet, a dog barks and the world moves.
