I had to make a game-time decision before the rates went up, and I really didn&#8217;t want to deal with finding a new place to live, even though I&#8217;ve had a less than stellar experience these past few months &#8211; Most notably, the maintenance guy who helped during my <a href=\"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/?p=371933\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smoke alarm incident<\/a> snitched that I had a dog &#8211; he was a nice guy, so I think he may have just mentioned it in passing, bc Milo was quiet, didn&#8217;t bark or make a sound or bother him at all when he was here. My building is pet-friendly, but I never mentioned to them that I had a dog &#8211; they charge an additional pet deposit and monthly fee (that can be waived with an ESA letter). I have an Emotional Support Animal letter that I got online when I first got Milo, so I gave that to them when the leasing office emailed me about having an unreported dog in my apartment. They denied my ESA letter, bc apparently there&#8217;s diff rules in California for ESAs, and I needed documentation from a doctor in California and not some physician from the east coast I paid on the internet \ud83e\udd2a So I made a virtual appointment with my PCP (who&#8217;s still in LA), and she wrote me an ESA letter that day &#8211; she&#8217;s been my PCP since I had my stroke and is very accommodating, helping me get short-term disability, medical leave from work, a permanent handicap placard, and now an ESA letter so I don&#8217;t have to pay extra housing fees to have a dog (the perks of having a stroke, otherwise 0\/10 do not recommend). I sent it to the leasing office, and they said it could take up to 2 weeks for them to review it &#8211; which is laughable bc it took them less than an hour to deny my first ESA letter. If they denied my new letter and were gonna charge me additional monthly fees to have a dog, I def wasn&#8217;t gonna renew my lease. They approved it and waived all the fees, so I&#8217;m here for at least another year. Hopefully, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiego.gov\/planning\/community\/profiles\/downtown\/parks-community-services\/east-village-green\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">park<\/a> across the street will be done before then (it was supposed to be open last fall!), but at this rate, I&#8217;m just hoping construction will be completed before I&#8217;m on social security \ud83d\udc75\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t catch Jess on TV this time, but I did see the paw squad \ud83d\ude0d Welp, I renewed my lease on my downtown apartment even though the Padres postseason is uncertain and the park across the street pushed it&#8217;s debut yet another month.
