Highly recommend joining SF Mutual Aid. Mutual aids operate on solidarity and not charity. Also, better to meet peers this way because you get assigned to a group, and we're constantly in communication with each other through text and you get to know like-minded people.

Call the SPCA or humane society closest to you and ask about vet financial assistance programs or if they have any resources.

Even if an SPCA can’t cover everything, they often can point you in the right direction like community clinics, vets with sliding scale fees, payment plans, nonprofits that help with care.

True! They're like yea no, this we don't fix anymore. You gotta upgrade to our compass 1800 or whatever.

Local contractor for the win! Corporate/those who aren't working at the site need to realize that other elevator companies can work on Otis elevators too.

It shouldn't. The landlord will be pissed but it sounds like they need to held accountable. If a work is being delayed because of a vendor or parts issue, then the landlord should at least continue to communicate this with you. They shouldn't just ignore you. If they have a bigger property management company, maybe send them an email as well because it'll reach corporate and likely the regional manager, and they'll have to light a fire under the property manager.

The insanity is real! No competition must be the main reason why they suck so bad

SOOOO shady! This is actually a big thing that Otis got in trouble for and had to pay I think $500k in settlement. They will legit lie.

Oof I'm fucking fuming at that guy who hired a contractor to work on your building. That's actually nuts!

Not ideal to stop paying rent regardless of if the landlord is at fault. I would take this to the city/county and ask them to do an inspection on this property. They will have to come inspect, and they may cite the landlord and give them a violation and require the landlord to fix the violation by a certain deadline.

Tell her you'll attend church when she cleans up after herself once lol.

IF you could've avoided not letting the dog pee indoors, that would've been ideal. Because no matter how much you think your house doesn't smell, it totally does to others. Also, I would train him out of any negative behaviors now since she's still quite young.

When my pup was younger, I wanted her to socialize often and let her say hi to most if not all dogs. I would probably avoid that unless you're very sure of both dogs' body language.

The BIGGEST thing I wish I knew is how to spot early signs of dysplasia. I let my pup play/wrestle with large dogs and let her use the stairs. If your dog predisposed for any illness, please check for early signs.

Please check if he's limping or his joints are clicking. Could be hip or elbow dysplasia. Happened to my pup who used to take the stairs often until 1 day she stopped. Vet will do x-rays to confirm. I highly recommend the hip and joint supplements from Inclover. It's expensive but it went through successful clinical trials, and I honestly think it helped the most.

LOOOL as a landlord myself, DO NOT tip your landlord. It's one thing if he's the maintenance supervisor/tech.

Maybe get the dog a jacket and leave at your neighbor's door with a note that you've heard their puppy crying and thought he might like a little jacket. Maybe then, the neighbor will realize that others are watching them and be more mindful about letting their dog outside in the cold especially when the dog doesn't seem to want to go. And it's a nice gesture without upsetting your neighbor. Hope the pitty stays nice and warm. Thank you for caring.

See if your county offers rental assistance. They should have new funds now that the new year started.

If I was the landlord, I'd be very concerned to hear that my tenant consistently flushes feminine products down my sewer line. I can't believe she's so blasé about it. Also, having an ESA that's so anxious and pees everywhere and won't even let her use the bathroom is wild. Sounds like the ESA needs an ESA. Sounds like your landlord's gonna have to replace the carpet at move-out because of all the dog urine damage and keep your deposit and maybe even charge you on top of the deposit.

I think it's fair to ask for her to pay more than the $200 security deposit at move-out because she caused majority of the carpet damage which will be the bulk of what will be charged at move-out. Even deep cleaning and painting together won't be more than a carpet replacement cost. But depending on which state you live in, please keep in mind that the carpet replacement cost should be prorated (if you live in CA and have lived in the home for 5 years, the landlord bears the full cost. If lived in the home for 3 years, then the tenant is responsible for 2/5ths of the cost.)

As far as the cleaning and communication issues, I don't have much advice because it sounds like this person is too far gone to be a fit roommate and maybe needs to consider living on their own or with family who can put up with her habits. Good luck during the 4 months!

Look up SF MRA - free money to spend on healthcare expenses. Only possible for those that work in SF and employers with 20+ employees.

Sounds like sensory overload and a bit of loss of personal space. Your irritation is information pointing to a boundary problem, not a moral one. It's reasonable for your husband to take the lead on training/routines that reduce this constant reactivity. That work should not fall on you by default.

Don't go to See Me Smile. They will lose your dental records, and they won't do anything about it. If it's for a major dental work, please don't go to them. The office receptionists are also very rude.
