> First, it's unfair to the dog. The dog will spend most of its life in the apartment when it should have an opportunity to spend most of its life outside running around. It's even worse if there is little green space near the apartment. Occasionally taking your "doggo" to a dog park doesn't make up for this.
Second, it's unfair to your neighbors. Dogs bark, they run around, they occasionally can be a nuisance. That's OK, it's in their nature, but subjecting other people in close proximity to that on a regular basis is inconsiderate.Third, it's unfair to building management, maintenance, and cleaning staff. Accidents happen, but those accidents are usually not cleaned by the owners. Instead, cleaning and maintenance staff usually have to clean it. Additionally, management often have to arbitrate disputes between residents regarding noise, smell, etc.Fourth (this is where it really gets unpopular), it's unfair to the landlord (if the resident is renting). Most dogs will cause wear and tear to the apartment and possibly some damage. Even additional pet fees usually don't cover repairs.


Are these valid points ?
