As required by the Tunney Act, the proposed settlement, along with a competitive impact statement, will be published in the Federal Register. Any interested person should submit written comments concerning the proposed settlement within 60 days following the publication to Danielle Hauck, Acting Chief, Technology and Digital Platforms Section, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 450 Fifth Street NW, Suite 7050, Washington, DC 20530. At the conclusion of the public comment period, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina may enter the final judgment upon finding it is in the public interest.
Tips:
1.) Read the lease. You probably have to notify them early that you are not renewing, or they can automatically renew you, or charge fees for not telling them. 2.) Never expect your deposit back. Consider putting your last month's rent into escrow until they refund your deposit. The NY Bank of Mellon offered this service at the time. 3.) Expect neighbors to complain if you have a dog, even if they are not loud or rambunctious, so see if you qualify to get an emotional support animal prescription to negate most legal issues. 4.) Things will break, document them in writing, use their "buildinglink" or whatever property management software they use today, but take screenshots and document it for your own records, including in email, so they can't delete it on you and say you didn't tell them. 5.) Every large landlord is a financial services business trying to extract fees out of you for everything they can think of to make a profit. They are the fast food of housing. Low labor costs, low expectations, not good for you in the long term. You should try to find a home to buy at some point to avoid enriching their shareholders.
Can't tell you how much I hate this in principle. So many people "game" the emotional support animal system that it's impossible to tell if the dog you're seeing at the mall is going to be a trained service animal or someone's 100lb "fur baby" that will try to jump on you when you get close. I can't imagine how people with fur allergies or fear of dogs deal with this stuff.
This sounds like you have a dog, who is loud, and you are causing a bother to all of your neighbors. But you aren't willing to be responsible about this situation. You probably shouldn't have a dog if you are living in an apartment building in the first place.
Why?
Large, high-energy dogs definitely need space. Smaller and lower-energy dogs can do well with at home stimulation and consistent exercise.
I also don’t know why you’re assuming any of this: 10 hours locked up in 1 bedroom.
So sad to see the high trust society we live in slowly degrade because of people doing stuff like this.
When I moved out, they exercised their unannounced walkthrough clause two weeks before the actual date, when I still had property in the unit. These photos were used as evidence that I had left things behind to keep my deposit, despite being provided photos of said items at my new place.

Why would you do that for rent, which is already spread out over a period of time? Or are they expecting you to pay the annual rent in a lump sum up front otherwise?
Whether and when this business model will change is any outsider's guess.
Now, the business of accepting debt from people that uh can't repay that debt is probably going to have to change.
