Its not uncommon for apartment complexes to charge another small monthly fee to have a pet (usually specifically a cat or dog) in the unit. I’m also paying a pet rent and its like $20-30 where I live. Is it BS? Definitely.

Don’t solve just one, ask “what are the solutions to the problems listed here?” and get all of them at once.

In the small rural town I was in it was literally a dollar a gallon. People went to buy gas just to get out of the house since everything else was being closed down.
