> 3.) Expect neighbors to complain if you have a dog, even if they are not loud or rambunctious, so see if you qualify to get an emotional support animal prescription to negate most legal issues.
This sounds like you have a dog, who is loud, and you are causing a bother to all of your neighbors. But you aren't willing to be responsible about this situation. You probably shouldn't have a dog if you are living in an apartment building in the first place.
Even a dog that doesn't bark makes a lot of noise, and that's just part of living in an apartment. In my last place, my upstairs neighbor had 2 dogs and whenever they wagged their tails when sitting, they would knock on the floor in a way that sounded exactly like someone knocking on my door. They also ran around and crashed into furniture fairly often, but it was hard to tell when it was the dogs or the children. I would counter that if you're not willing to live with a little noise, you shouldn't be living in an apartment building in the first place.
We have a lot of dogs in the building. I can't hear the barking, even when had neighbors next door, so no real complaints there! I do have a complaint that the hallway carpets are disgusting, mostly due to being soaked with dog pee and poo. Smell/sight. Management won't replace them. The elevators also have puddles 30% of the time, and smell bad from dog pee.
