Nothing in this snapshot matches that filter. That is the answer, not a bug — it means no property here publishes that.
Fees are one-time and non-refundable unless a property says otherwise. “Not stated” means the property never publishes it — not that it is zero. Tap a name to read the sentence the policy was taken from.
10 held back for review
These publish “call for details” or nothing at all, so their rows stay out of the table until someone reads a real policy. Nothing here is guessed.

02 The gap
8 of 10 list the dog on the left
German Shepherds appear by name in the written breed policy at 8 of the 10 properties in this snapshot, and 2 more leave the breed rules unstated. Not one of the 10 publishes a policy that leaves them off the list. That is what the page says — how strictly a leasing office reads it is a question for the leasing office, and the quote under every row is there so you can judge it yourself.
5 of 10 publish a weight cap that would admit a 70-pound dog. The weight is rarely the problem; the line in the breed policy is.
- 0 of 10 publish a policy that leaves German Shepherds off the list
- 1 of 10 has no weight limit
- 2 of 10 leave a breed policy unstated
03 How it’s built
Read, not guessed
Each row was read off the property’s own pet policy, FAQ or leasing page on 14 November 2026. Where a property says “call for details,” the field stays empty and the confidence score drops — a blank beats a guess in a directory people make housing decisions with.
Confidence is a plain score: 0.9 and up means an explicit written policy, below 0.7 means the property did not publish one. Weight caps carry total or each when the page says which, and the difference decides the answer: two 50 lb dogs are 100 lb together, so they fit a 50 lb each limit and do not fit a 75 lb total one.
Renting with a dog, and the law underneath it
Louisiana has its own rules for service dogs and emotional support animals, and most of what gets written about them online is wrong about which law applies where. Housing runs on the Fair Housing Act, not the ADA — and a letter that doesn’t meet R.S. 46:1974 is a letter a landlord can refuse.
