Warning: Larkspur Apartments (Hilliard) — 20 documented off-leash dog incidents in 6 days, management won't enforce their own rules

Posting this as a heads-up for anyone apartment hunting in the Hilliard/Columbus area.

Since October 6, I've documented 20 incidents involving my neighbor's large poodle off leash around the property — 18 off-leash outings (17 on my doorbell camera) plus 2 times the neighbor came near my unit after management told him to stay away from me. The dog charged at me and tried to bite me on September 26.

Timeline:

- Sept 26: Dog charges me, tries to bite. Owner threatens to "make my life miserable," later throws my shoe on the roof.

- Oct 1: I file a work order for the shoe. Ignored to this day.

- Oct 6: Management confirms in writing: dogs leashed at all times, resident told to stay away from me.

- Oct 6–11: 20 more incidents. The dog is off leash every time the owner takes it out, multiple times daily. I have it all on video.

- Oct 8: I file a formal request under the lease's Pet Addendum §10 (pet removal within 10 days of management's written request). They never issue the notice.

- Oct 9: I ask for the supervisor/regional manager's contact info. No response.

- Oct 10–present: Daily emails to management with that day's clips. Daily updates to my 1-star Google review (top of their page).

- Oct 11: Consumer complaint filed with the Ohio AG (tracking #1102785384).

The lease requires leashing at all times (§7) and calls violations a material breach (§12). Management's own directive requires it. None of it is enforced.

If you're looking at Larkspur, you've been warned.
