Hi guys, i need help! My neighbor got a dog during covid, and she doesn’t walk her but instead has the dog release on the fresh patches on her balcony. That won’t be any problem except we kinda share the balcony. And ever since she got the dog, the smell is non stop. I, myself is a dog owner, dog lover, i walk my dog outside and she can release herself on disposable pad at home if needed. and I throw it out right away. I’m frustrated, not sure how she can stand it and how I shall tell her? 🙏

“just buy a house” if only it was that easy🙄

Depending on your relationship with the neighbor, maybe start with asking them if they have an alternative as the smell is an issue. That may not go over well, but obviously you know the neighbor more than we do.

You next option would be to discuss the problem with HOA/landlord. There’s certainly something in the HOA covenant or leasing restrictions that protects you in situations like this.

Bylaws are your friend. It’s likely forbidden to have pets urinate on the balconies. Mention that to her, and the smell. Say you understand it’s hard to get out sometimes so if she could change the pass after each incident you’d be willing to see if that can work as an option. Act like you are doing her a favor. Don’t threaten or be mean or even cajole or act shy or sorry. Neutral and rational: You see she’s in a pickle, offer her a chance to make it better while promising nothing (don’t say “if you change it more I’ll ignore it.”)

That’s pretty gross tbh. I don’t understand how people get dogs without being able to commit to taking them out. I agree with PwC2 above- i think talking to her first knowing it’ll likely be fruitless, then talking to the landlord is the best move.

That’s disgusting. Definitely report to management and ask to have it professionally cleaned.

If none of that works, offer to walk her dog maybe, might not be too much effort if you’re already walking your own.

How does the dog get exercise if it is not walked?

Do not offer to walk. Then you are the walker and embroiled in the problem (he had to go on the patio bc YOU didn’t walk him!). She’s not a good pet owner.

Do you live in a condo?

Your condo probably has a ban on this in their governing documents. Look under the “use restriction” provision in the Declaration. I would email management with the provision that the neighbor is violating. They can provide some options for the neighbor, you don’t have to.

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
