[nagdu] Paws and Apartments

[Mark J. Cadigan]

Marion



Thanks for your advice, but unfortunately I don't have anywhere to leave my 
dog when apartment hunting. Leaving him in the dorm with my past experiences 
with the dorm regarding my dog is asking for trouble.  However, the realtor 
has 5 apartments available, in my price range near my school and I am the 
first client scheduled tomorrow. So, I don't think she will pull any 
shenanigans.



Expecting I find an apartment I like and I sign a lease, what is the 
procedure for informing the apartment management that I have a dog.



Thanks,

Mark
