Eh, not really. Basically all that bolded sentence is saying is: "All pets must be pre-approved by us." The fact that it goes on to say that pitbulls are restricted would also be a no go for you guys. I work for one of the largest property management companies in the nation, and our company restricts all pitbull-type breeds (Amstaffs, APBTs, and Staffys), as well as their mixes. Our entire resticted lists has 10 or 11 breeds we cannot allow, along with their mixes.

We are now requiring verification of breed for every dog that lives here (ie, vet paperwork stating the breed or breed mix), as well as a current photo of each dog for the file.

It's tough being in property management and being an "aggressive breed" lover. I know all too well that the statistics are skewed and unfair. But truthfully, dogs in apartments can make for shitty situations regardless of breed. Everyone in my office is a dog lover, but we have all had to deal with dogs with behavior problems or damage caused by dogs.

Funny story. We have this little old scruffy dog that lives in one of the apartments. He HATES everyone but me. Like neurotic chasing, barking, attacking maintenance, etc. The owners are never willing to work with us as far as being present during inspections, or crating him when we have work orders to complete in the apartment. Our new maintenance supervisor is slowly trying to win him over, but I don't think it's going so well. We were in the apt last week (Tim was doing repairs, I was basically sitting in the floor loving on the dog-crazy thing loves me.) I went outside to take a phone call and came back inside, when Tim called me upstairs. The little dog had run up there while he was working on the water heater, shot him a death glare, and proceeded to take a shit right in front of Tim

Good times.

I almost forgot! Most larger management companies will not allow 3 dogs either. I would definitely recommend that you search for private landlords. I don't think a large management company would be a good fit for you all.
