Crappy Owners Puppy in my pet free apartment complex ran at me and the owner was rude to me

ugh I normally only lurk in this group and view posts but I HAVE to tell this story…

I live in an apartment complex that is pet free, and even has their no pet policy online..

This asshole lady lives in the complex and somehow has an untrained puppy that’s allowed to stay, today her dog ran at me as I was trying to go to the pool and I yelled that I was allergic and was scared… it doesn’t help that I’m autistic, and have sensory issues around loud, dirty shitbeasts… so obviously I yelled and backed away so it didn’t get to me.. and my allergies are real.. I’ve gotten sick because of these shitmutts.. when she finally caught her mutt by the collar, she glared at me and told me to “get a grip”

I called and left a message to report it but I’m afraid of seeing this bitch again… I’m afraid they won’t do anything about it… I fucking hate dogs, dog people, and this entire fucking culture around these fucking useless beasts..

It is disgraceful what they make the rest of us deal with.

Also, you should definitely file a complaint until something is done.

Ikr, and I left a voice message to the landlord/apartment company earlier today, hopefully they call back when they’re open

Yes, and keep at it! We have to reinforce our dog-free spaces. Don't let nutters take over.

I’ll also send an email to the landlord to let them know what happened, so I can have documentation and everything in writing

I'm going through something very similar with a shitbeast owner in my building. I have a severe allergy, and whenever someone is outside destroying the few green spaces we have with urine and feces, I say "keep your dog away from my truck" when they get too close to where I'm parked (in my designated spot, of course). This guy has decided to start a personal vendetta against me for that. I emailed my landlady immediately to start documentation, and I'm so glad I did, because just this Friday, I overheard him talking to another tenant below me, being very disparaging about myself and my family AND being very threatening, "if they want to play games, I'll play games", "if they're going to mind my business, I'll mind theirs". I managed to record some of it, and again immediately emailed the landlady with the new information. At one point, he said "I probably pay more than them anyway", I'm sorry, someone who thinks paying more for less apartment in the same building is a flex is not mentally stable, so I'm making sure everything is on record with the office. In so glad to hear you're doing the same, OP.

These dog owners are so ridiculous! Why can't they accept that not everyone wants to be bothered with their damn dog?!

You are 100% right. You live in a pet free apartment complex and that means NO DOGS. What she does is a clear violation of the lease. The dog needs to go. No ifs or mutts.

For you this is a real hazard especially because of your allergies. Do highlight that to the management/landlord. Keep notes of all instances you've seen or heard this mutt. Take photos, video and add them to your complaints. Best of luck! Know that we are on your side.

The owner is probably claiming the shitbeast is an ESA. And of course fake certifications are available. Keep documenting the transgressions, because ESAs (and service animals, I believe) still have to abide by certain standards. Running at you unleashed is not acceptable!

Happens to me all the time in my apt too. People don't leash their dogs, or the leash is so loose/long the dog might as well not be leashed. If I say anything to the owner about their dog, they always get mad. Every time. Sometimes I'll just wear large headphones and loudly tell the owner to control their dog. I'm sure they're getting mad at me but I can't hear what they're saying lol
