    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 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.

        My tenants wouldn’t pick up their dog shit until I asked them to. They thought I was going to clean it up.

        Then they threw unbagged dog shit in the garbage can. That was a nice surprise.

        Some people are entitled human garbage. They exist at all income levels. Yea, renters have it tough. You still have to pick up your dog shit.

        The imagined benefit of picking up your dog shit is that the lawn gets mowed and people don’t step in dog shit. Imagine that.

          For the record I’m not actually pro “leave your dog shit everywhere” I just question both the imposition of the indignity of subjecting your tenants to pet DNA screening, and the effectiveness of it as a mechanism for preventing that.

          I actually am pro throw unbagged dog shit in a bag-containing garbage can though, and don’t really understand why anyone would care about that.

          I tend to see more of the leaving it on the ground, not even the throwing it in a can.

          Edit: Alright, you guys are right, you need at least 2 layers of bags for dog shit. But then I guess triples might be safer, or even quads. Fuck it, every piece of dog shit must be wrapped in at least twenty layers of plastic before it hits the landfill! We need to preserve the remains of this dog shit forever!! It’ll be our mummies!!! Inject it with formaldehyde!!!

          Guess your tenants don’t have a working dishwasher and a window that’s been broken since before they moved in that is totally gonna be fixed before they move in?

      Nobody is getting dog shit DNA tested, id bet they do for bites though so the building can say they’re not liable.

      I lived in a building where the super would go around and get as many complaints as he could from people who let their dogs go in the lobby. He was great, the building got rid of him because he wanted the building owners to actually keep up the amenities promised to residents.

        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?

      It’s also so they can charge you more money because your dog has pit bull DNA and which results in higher insurance premiums or similar bullshit.
