We have been stuck in an apartment complex on Chancellor’s Run Rd in California, MD since Nov 2003 all because we have a pit bull and it seems everyone thinks "pit bulls are man-eaters".
:shrug:
We did not get a pit bull to have a cool, powerful, and aggressive dog. Three years ago, we rescued a puppy who was going to be put down( euthanized) by her owners because no one would pay $1000.00 for her and the owner did not want her. She just happened to be a pit bull.
Gracie is a wonderful dog. She is not food aggressive, dog aggressive, cat aggressive, or people aggressive. She doesn’t bark, howl, chew, dig in the trash, or terrorize our 9yr old, declawed, cat. They get along wonderfully. The cat has even taken over sleeping in Gracie’s kennel. We have lived in our current apartment complex for 3 years and all of the neighbors AND the neighbor’s dogs love her to death. We get compliments on her behavior and training several times a week. People have even brought their bad tempered dogs to meet Gracie in an attempt to socialize them. Gracie has been friends with labs, pugs, rottweilers, dobermans, yorkies, dalmations, other pit bulls, boxers, terriers, and many others I can’t remember. She knows how to sit, stay, heel, lay down, and say I love you. Well, sometimes she knows how to say “I love you.”
The dog and cat are spayed and neutered. The cat was stray that had been declawed. Both are well housebroken, the cat has NEVER, in 3 years, went outside the litter box, and the dog can be left alone for around 9 hrs. They both just went to the Well Pet Clinic on 9/5/06 and got all of their vaccinations and their rabies shots.
With all of that said, we are looking for a house to rent. We would love a fenced in yard, and a storage shed or garage of some kind. It needs to be within 25 mins of the Pax River Navy Base, accept smokers, and have access to high speed internet. We would like to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000 to $1150 per month. We have been paying $1035 per month for a tiny 2 bedroom apartment at our current complex and the rent goes up to $1149 in January.
I know there are house rentals available for this amount. We would like to move in between November 1 and December 1. If a property is offered at less than say $1100, we would consider paying an extra $50 or so per month for the smoking and pets as well as a negotiable pet deposit. I can pay all deposits and the first month's rent immediately.
I have renter’s insurance / liability insurance with State Farm and I would put it in writing that I would assume all responsibilities for my pet. My current lease clearly states the landlord is not liable for ANY of my pets actions. I am also working on getting a letter from a dog behaviorist that states that the dog is not aggressive. Renters would be myself, 25 yr old female, and boyfriend, 29 yrs old. We both work for local contractors and have no children. We don’t party, drink, use drugs, or anything else that would annoy landlords or neighbors.
If you can, or you know of anyone that can help us find something, please contact me at redrumm@xsmail.com or PM me.
Thanks in advance.

One of my many duties here at work is to manage a small set of apartments. If there are breed standards in the lease and they find out that you have one of them living there, they will have just cause to throw your ass out of there!
