I'd have to agree with being EXTRA nice to the maintenance men and the neighbors - It pays in the long run - I've always had pets and only paid pet deposits once ...when you're single and have kids - it was HARD to come up with that kind of cash -
ONCE you move in - you can always say you DID get a yorkie...say it was a family emergency and you had to take her in or she would be sent to the shelter or something -
Explain that she will NOT be a problem - they may make you pay the deposit but usually will stretch out the payments - IF they go for it - If not - BE NICE to everyone and you should be ok -
We also did this in a Rent house a few years back - everytime the landlord came over I had to take the dogs to work with me - but Gee....I wonder if the poopies in the yard ever gave me away ? |
