I concur with "Judy in Waco". Getting in touch with the media is a great idea providing your have a cooperating TV or Cable station and good sized newspaper. Before you do that you might try asking if you who already have pets couldn't just pay an extra amount in "pet deposit" and also on the monthly rent. I know it seems hard-hearted, but having been on the landlords side of the pet issue, pets can do devastating damage in just a short time if not controlled and supervised....sometimes even if they are. So that tends to turn landlords hard-hearted.
