Problem with neighbor's dog

[plifter]

I live in an apartment complex. There is a duplex next door (not a part of my apartment complex). The tenants are crack dealers with a pit bull. They leave the dog outside and now that it's cold outside, the dog wants to go inside. He sits in front of their door and howls as if he's in pain. It really makes an awful sound and it won't shut up. Like I said, I really think these people are selling some dope and I don't want to approach them to ask them to put their dog inside. Would this be something the real estate company I'm renting from should handle?

Why would the landowner deal with it?

If you don't wanna go over there - then bite the bullet and call the cops


Or maybe animal control or something

Because I am their customer and they don't want me to move out as it takes them about 4-6 months to fill a vacant unit. That is a lot of lost income.

From a practicable standpoint, I would approach the landlord and do it in a formal manner. First, call, then follow up with a certified letter so you have proof of the communication. If you look like you are serious, the landlord is more likely to take the appropriate action.

Second, call the police (which will most likely do no good) but also call animal control and report animal abuse. Animal Control in some areas is very proactive, in others they don't give a damn. Regardless, I would take steps to stop it. If they are proactive they can stop it rather quickly.

I would keep track of everything you do though so when you go to say the police you can show them you reported the incident to the landlord and the landlord did nothing etc. I keep a record of everything I do and that is a tactic I learned in law school and it has paid off when I needed proof that I took some sort of action.

move out

 

[nimbus]

go buy some crack and then casually mention the dog

go buy some crack and then casually mention the dog

or you could give the dog a bowl of prestone. . .the non-environmetally friendly variety. . .

lol @ calling the police wouldn't help

call the police and tell them the dog is not shutting the fuck up

i live in a finished basement but my roomie is on the top floor in our house so he hears everything

the other night he got out of bed at 12 AM and knocked on our neighbor's door to tell them their dog is barking

it worked and they brought it inside, but then again our neighbors aren't drug dealers

call the police

 

[Smurfy]

call the police

my suggestion as well
its called a noise disturbance
