Unrelated but personally I'd love data on which neighborhoods has the most dog-friendly landlords. I'm sure this kind of data would be very hard if not nearly impossible to accurately gather but it would be so interesting. Haha
Random thoughts: What’s on your mind lately? Part 2
- Thread starter LC18
- Start date
I wonder if the type of hotel and the fact that they require a key has a correlation. I’ve been told years ago that Marriott was very anti SW but I’ve found some of their hotels don’t require a key for the elevator
If I could I would. There are some places in the world where dogs are more commonly accepted by landlords. One apartment in the northwest had a 140 foot tall dog poster on the building when they were opening to advertise how dog friendly they were. I hope you become a property owner one day!
I believe different Marriotts are different. I don't think any entire chain is super against it. On Tryst some people mention Marriott in their bio
Yeah, I find myself staying a Marriott-owned properties (W, Honeyrose, Renaissance, Fairfield) more often than not when in MTL and I've never had an issue but I'd defer to the ladies on what they've seen overall. With a keycard elevator hotel I've met people downstairs and one-time left a keycard hidden just away from the lobby and texted them the location and they said they felt like a spy retrieving the microfilms. They required a full debriefing lol.
I like to have the man wait for me in the elevator and climb in like we’re in some spy movies. Not say a word until we’re on his floor
Or
Meet outside and walk in as we’ve known each other forever
Random thought : I have to go do some groceries today. I dont feel like it but it will be very worth it once dinner is ready.
I love it, I actually became friends with a cashier during COVID because that was basically my only way to see real people
The hidden card thing happened once and it gave me a full blown panic attack LMAO I was quite literally crying and shaking when he came downstairs to pick me up. I was embarrassed because what do you mean playing spy triggered a panic attack?!?!
It was one of our very first bookings - it's been years and we still see each other, but he hasn't tried hiding the card since. We figured out it's easier to start at a restaurant instead and simply meet there. Haha !
Ruh roh. To clarify: She suggested I do this and we were in pretty constant communication and I was 2 min away upstairs so there was just enough subterfuge to be fun/non-threatening I guess. No one was gonna get nabbed by the KGB (hotel employees) on my mission lol. We went to dinner after all the classified information was revealed, so that was fun.
It will be very hard to find such data as key in data analysis is data quality and data standardization. The variety of means and platform to list properties, the way it's written, etc. make the data aggregation APITA.
On a side note but still about dog there tons of dog related information: Dog friendly things
What do do you have?
@Julia Sky
The info I do have after googling. You probably knew some of this already but it's interesting. Even if you knew all of this maybe this will help a lurker who owns a dog.
"My Pit Bull is Family's National Dog Inclusive Rental Database: This is a national database, it's a crowdsourced effort. It includes properties that allow dogs with varying restrictions. It's a "leads" database, so you still need to contact properties directly to confirm."
"The Montreal SPCA website often has tips and resources for finding pet-friendly housing, including advice on preparing a "pet resume" and lists of Facebook groups dedicated to pet-friendly rentals. They also advocate for changes to the "no-pet clause" in leases."
"Start with Rental Websites: Use the "pet-friendly" filters on major rental platforms.

"Start with Rental Websites: Use the "pet-friendly" filters on major rental platforms.
- Filter by Location/Neighborhood: Consider areas known for being more pet-friendly or having access to dog parks.
- "Pet Resume": As suggested by the SPCA, create a "pet resume" with your dog's vaccination records, training certificates, and references from previous landlords. This can make a big difference in securing a rental, even if a landlord is initially hesitant.
- Direct Communication: Always confirm the pet policy directly with the landlord or property manager before signing any lease. Get it in writing on the lease itself.
I’ve spent the afternoon sorting my taxes out for the second trimester. Whoever said whores don’t pay taxes…
It's not done annually?I’ve spent the afternoon sorting my taxes out for the second trimester. Whoever said whores don’t pay taxes…
Sales taxes (TPS TVQ), either monthly, every trimester or annually.
I would think there might also be something about how many restaurants are in any given location... richer areas have more restaurants??? Just guessing.
I based my data on violations per restaurant on average so my results aren't skewed by some areas having more restaurants.
Sort of like how during covid researchers had to base some insights on cases per capita rather than total number of cases to see what areas were doing the best at fighting the illness.
I'm thinking about doing a data project on hotels and trying to make it relevant for your industry. Have any other ideas of Montreal or Quebec data projects? I will DM you some stuff I made that is maybe interesting to you.
