I've lived in my wing of the building I'm in longer than anyone now, and I think I'm done renewing. It seems that they'll let anyone sign a lease these days. I know there are laws that protect people, but come on! Since I've lived here, things have been going downhill. I have seen several units move in and out where frequent pot use has been going on, stinking up the entire public area of the building. (I have one new neighbor who smokes pot now. You get rid of one and two more move in.)
Now I have a neighbor below me who just moved in with not one, but TWO dogs that are pushing the weight limit for dogs (SEVENTY POUNDS!!!) Why would anyone allow TWO 70-POUND dogs to run around in a ONE bedroom apartment all day long. And that's not the half of it. They bark loudly at anyone at anytime, day or night.
Up until the last 18 months, I have enjoyed my stay here, coming from being a homeowner, but I think it might be time to never renew my lease again and look to owning a home again. I would rather cut my own lawn than to deal with this nonsense.
