Maybe say because your lease says you can't have that type of dog you felt safe moving there and now they they are allowed you no longer feel safe.  Potentially use those terms to break your lease without penalty?

I'm starting to think that the manager may not be familiar with the language in the lease. We've exchanged emails and they seem to think that there is no specific language regarding specific breeds and said that I may just be looking at a copy of their old community policies. I replied that I was referring to my copy of my lease that went into effect on 03/01 of this year. Guess they don't expect folks to actually print all 40 or so pages because it's all done online with digital signatures now. I kind of got the impression that they were trying to sell me on a concept of "well, it may be in there but our policy says different", LOL. We shall see.

Well, if it's in yours and not in neighbor's, you have the disagreeable situation that it can be enforced by the landlord against you, but not against your neighbor.  And your rights in that situation are virtually zero, as you would have to show yourself to be an intended third party beneficiary of language not contained in their lease.

Don't lease agreements have specific language about noise (barking),  control of pets,  and cleanliness after pets  ?    Can you share the specific issue  ?

I understand that but I'm beginning to wonder if his doesn't have the same language. She seemed to not know that the lease I signed does include the breed specific restrictions. When I brought it to her attention her response was "oh maybe that's old, and besides that's just a general Texas lease, it doesn't reflect our policies. Insurance companies blah, blah". But, they're not going to volunteer a copy of what the neighbor has on file.

Aha.  If it has the language, you might have a leg to stand on, but it would more likely be for terminating the lease or obtaining a rent reduction than forcing the landlord to enforce the prohibition.

Unfortunately, you are most likely correct. Who knows, this might be an opportunity to explore other living options. And as I type this that beast is raising hell. Fuck this place.

I have none of the facts of this case but I’ve learned to always side with the dog.

I'd take him in in a heartbeat, seems like a sweet guy and a g'boy. Not his fault he's a retard and doing dog things.

random lease question, didn't want to start a new thread.

I recently cleaned out a storage unit and have been going through boxes of old shit.  I found an uncashed check from Centex Realty (now Texcen Realty, but same company and still operational).  The check was a returned security deposit in the amount of $1,200 from September of 2012... I guess it slipped my mind back then.

Any chance of getting them to issue me a new check?  I'm assuming after 12 years they don't have to do shit and that money is gone forever, but still, $1,200 would be nice, though I'm not really expecting anything.  Just wanted to see if anyone had knowledge of this kind of situation.

I would think it would have been escheated to the state as unclaimed property by now. Search for it at claimittexas.gov and file a claim

Imagine if you cashed it and bought Nvidia 12 years ago. 

should have bought NVDA and AAPL instead of GeForce and iPod

I checked but it looks like the claims only go back 10 years.  1200 clams lost in the ether.  sad day.
