Berkeley considers outlawing pet restrictions on rentals

1. And, like the sudden flood of people who NEED support dogs - this proviso -

"so long as the pet can be reasonably accommodated, is well behaved and the tenant takes responsibility for property damage"
will be subverted. Requiring much larger security deposits may be called discriminatory, and yeah, I once lived in an apartment building with a No Dog policy, and the barking and smells and poop outside the building were so annoying/sickening that I moved out.
I reported the woman downstairs for her dog that yapped all day and all night, and nothing happened.
When she moved out, she glued the collection of carpet pieces that her dog ripped out down on to the floor, and it took the landlord quite a while to scrape everything up so the smelly carpet could be replaced.
The apartment upstairs - Saint Bernard that walked around all night.
Management said it was too much trouble getting tenants out after the lease was signed.
I never lived in an apartment again.
