We live in a pet friendly building and it absolutely amazes me how fucking lazy some dog owners are. We have a dog and take him out for regular walks and always pick up after him. He's had instances where he pooped in the lobby or parkage, and we always went back to pick it up and wipe it down right after. There are so many cases where people leave their dog's poo and pee in the hallway and don't bother cleaning it up.

It got so bad during the fall/winter time (rained a lot) so some fucking idiots decided it was fair game to walk their dog in the parkage and have them shit and piss everywhere. Strata had to put up so many notices about just how fucking unsanitary and disgusting that it.

If you own property as part of a strata, your life is basically controlled by whoever is the cuntiest person there.

IMO it's better to rent if your only other choice is to deal with that. That way if you have issues with a cunty landlord or strata, you can just leave relatively easily. Eventually you'll find a nice spot.

I'm kind of torn on this one because I don't like telling other people that to do, but I'd fucking hate it if I lived next to someone who smoked like a chimney and I had to keep my windows closed all the time because they are always on their deck lighting up. I'm a pretty easy going guy, so if it's once in awhile someone is having a party and making noise, who cares, but when something is bothering me multiple times a day there's going to be a problem.

I'd just run a fan 24/7 pointed at their place. Sure, it would cost me a little money, but they'd eventually get the hint.

are there anything like air purifiers that help with the smell?
I don't hate the smell but I also haven't had to deal with it 24/7
seems like basic common courtesy to make an effort to reduce the smell for co-habitants living 10 ft away

air filters and o3 generators (use at own discretion).
