I will never understand why anyone who needs to find housing via a rental lease agreement would have a dog, never mind a pit bull. Then complain about it online that they can’t find housing. It’s not shocking, everybody and their mother knows this by now! Should’ve thought this through before getting a pit bull, because you will have an EXTREMELY difficult time finding anyone to accept you… unless you make 6 figures, have perfect credit, and can afford $3k-$4k in rent at a luxury building.

I’m finding myself recovering from this mindset. I sold my house (EDIT: sold because I couldn’t work from home due to noise and neighbors threatened to kill me when I complained about noise) and moved in with a family member who needs a caretaker and was having difficulty finding one until I could find a condo, but interest rates and the sharp increase in prices I’ve seen since they announced the $17500 for first time buyers is making that not a reality. There is a terrible mold issue in this house and my face swells to a point I can’t open my eyes and I constantly feel like I have the flu. The mold doesn’t bother the family member so they are not willing to spend money to remediate. Now I find myself looking at apartment after apartment that is fine with someone having 2 cats but not my 11 pound dog. Now I’m in a position where I either have to get rid of a dog I’ve had for 5 years and effectively be blacklisted from adopting from a rescue again (believe me, they’re like the mob they find these things out) or stay where my health is in peril.
