I allow pets on a case-by-case basis, but people who ignore no pets rules are one-in-the-same with those who caused the rule to be put in place in the first place. If people properly trained and cared for their pets, most landlords would be willing to accept them, but there are a lot of people out there who let their pets tear up their home. And the security deposit is almost never enough to cover the extensive damage poorly-trained pets can cause. Replacing carpet can be thousands of dollars. Urine can even damage the floorboards underneath the carpeting. Ripped up drywall and doors from scratching (both cats and dogs) can also be very expensive to repair/replace. I put a lot of time, effort, and money into making sure my rental property is a comfortable, clean, safe, and attractive place for my tenants to live in. I do wish more tenants treated the property with the same respect (I luckily have very few problems, but even those few suck and I have some friends with absolute horror stories).

If YOU have a dog, don't do it (it will make your dog not want to go in your yard, either), but it's actually highly effective. Just re-apply after rain. The dogs will get it shortly. They're usually pretty fast learners. You pretty much so just need to hit the edge of the yard...as soon as they get a whiff they'll sneeze and move on.

My apologies. Those weren't polite notices, despite their title. I agree with the sentiment, though, especially the hilarious first one. I do wonder if people who start their statements with one behavioral ideal, and then immediately follow up with the polar opposite behavior, think that they're managing to achieve their goals. Or, are they reminding themselves (to not offend, or to be polite, or to be respectful), and then failing epically? Whatever else, that first notice was hilarious. Hosepipe! Wasn’t clear.

You never even mentioned how a different title on the notices would change your opinion (strange logic leap to add in). You assumed first, I assumed second. Perhaps judge less of others if you do not want to be judged in turn.
