( I have 3/4 acre, huge backyard and another yard right out the back door that is fenced in.
Dog is outside for maybe 10 minutes at a time (I let him out, he pisses or shits and then scratches the door and I let him in. every single time), unless I am outside working on something and he is with me. He would never hurt a soul unless he thought I was in danger.
Does not bark, is literally the perfect dog. Completely not aggressive in any way shape or form, even walks up to the fence separating our properties when neighbors kids are in the yard playing wagging his tail. Never has looked at ANYONE sideways including the neighbor, just isn't in him.
Only time he barks is if someone knocks on my front door, that is it. When I first got him it took him a month before we even heard him bark once.
You have to remember I live in a city that is full of ghetto ass nigs who fight dogs, mistreat them and every other day there is something on the news saying how "dangerous" pits are. He stereotyped the dog from day 1, and now probably feels like a complete fool because in the 10 months I have been here the dog pays him or any of his kids (he does have two small ones) no mind.
As far as the poisoning shit, like I said I have a private yard out my back door that has driveway separating mine and his property and fenced in so no way he could slip him anything. And again I am outside with him if it is for any length of time.
As far as the lease option, it works for my situation. The house needed work much of which I have done over the past year and have increased the value significantly. With the sale price fixed from when I moved in, now when I get a loan I am going to be at 70% LTV and as you know it will be hella easier to get a good rate with it so low.
Thanks for the extra detail. If you have a calm dog with a good nature there's no reason why he can't meander around with you out front if you're there. The non barking is a bonus, sounds like this neighbor is just a clown. Regardless of this guy's kids..situation..whatever, if your dog doesn't show any signs of aggression or bad behavior of any kind then he is way, way out of line.
You have 3/4 acre and your driveways are right next to each other? That sucks.
If you will really be at 30% equity when you exercise your option....well then fuck this guy. You don't walk away from that obv.
Hopefully you scared the shit out of him and now he will leave you alone, otherwise you need to man up and have a sit down. Apologize for the disrespect you showed him in front of his wife and get it sorted out. Business is business, and 30% equity is business.
If after that you still have problems, then sell, collect your equity and find another place. At least at that point you know you made effort to make it work.
Everybody has to eat some shit from time to time, but if you can come to terms it will be worth it.
