    They wanted to DNA test my dog and keep his biometric data on file as part of the terms of the last lease I was looking at.

    I uhh, didn’t fucking sign. The neofeudalist movement is for real.

      This so they can fine you when you leave your dog’s shit on the ground for other people to step in. I’m here for it. I lived in a place that did not enforce picking up after your animals and it was absolutely disgusting.

        They won’t send don’t do that at all anyway, but hey at least the professional landlord class gets to inflict upon you one more indignity for some imagined benefit.

        The park adjacent to those buildings has so much dog turd in it you’d think they were purposely producing low quality fertilizer over there.

          Hate to break it to you dude

          "We are the DNA dog waste management company offering a solution to pet pollution in 7,000+ communities across the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. It isn’t just a problem in your community—it’s everywhere. "

          And here I thought it was pretty common to have your children and pets DNA tested by your apartment manager. Hasn’t this always been the case?

      Yeah, they do that these days to identify who lets their dogs poop around the property and don’t pick it up.

        Or…They threaten to do this and just keep your $600

        It’s really the threat that motivates people, and it’s the free $600 non-refundable deposit that motivates the landlords.
