Not all heroes wear capes. Some are just wearing cotton shirts, pants, and sandals, clutching a handbag. For the average American, this 84-year-old lady is just another elderly landlady. But to her tenants, there is no doubt, she is regarded as a real-life hero. Unfortunately, she does not have superpowers to help her fight villains.

But rather, all she has is a golden heart, which is more than her tenants could ask for. Judy Guth owns a 12-unit apartment building, and she only accepts tenants who have pet dogs or other pet animals. Yes, you’ve read that right. She’s not only welcoming pets, but she also went one step further and made her apartments exclusively for pet owners.

Just think about how much Judy has saved her tenants. Imagine looking for a new apartment in Hollywood. You have to work out the agreements, the negotiations, the paperwork, and on top of that, you have to check if they allow dogs or not. Unfortunately, many landlords do not allow any pets on their property.

Judy, on the other hand, is one of the few landlords, who does. Making her apartments exclusive to pet owners may sound discriminatory, but the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office was asked about it, and everything checks out. Judy was allowed to operate with these conditions, but despite this landlady being welcoming, there are some rules to be followed.

Aside from having a pet dog or other pet animal being a mandatory requirement to rent her apartment units, the dogs must be well-behaved. One of the main reasons why pet dogs aren’t allowed in apartment buildings is the noise that dogs create. Every time a dog goes on a barking spree, neighbors could definitely hear them.

Also, the dogs should have a name tag, and the property must always be kept clean. Judy sure does run a tight ship, despite its special situation. Judy is already 84 years old and is looking to sell her property. But guess what, she only wants to sell to somebody who will continue her building’s pet-friendly condition.
