Couple Pays $50 Lower Rent For Snitching On Neighbors Who Don't Clean Up After Their Dogs
A 28-year-old man and his wife turned a petty apartment problem into a legit rent hack, and it all started with one surprisingly specific TikTok post. So the couple would literally sit in their car, wait for the moment the dog did its business, catch the evidence on video, and then submit the report for the discount.
It’s petty, it’s hilarious, and it’s also the kind of scheme that makes your whole building side-eye you.
An offer they couldn't refuse
A man posted on TikTok that he and his wife’s apartment complex was offering a discount on rent for reporting people who didn’t pick up their dogs' poop. He revealed via the text overlay of the video that, “Every video got us $50 off rent, so my wife and I would sit in our car and wait for people to leave their dog's poop and then report them.”
The best dog sh*t hunter in town
The couple’s “every video got us $50 off rent” plan quickly turned them into the apartment’s most dedicated dog poop watchdog.
The poop videos have definitely provided this couple with a new stream of income. Imagine being able to pay your rent with poop videos? That's both hilarious and amazing at the same time.
Caught in the act
In the video, we can see a woman standing with her dog as it poops, and later, the dog drags its owner away without her cleaning up. Well, that's another $50 in the bag for this couple.
In the clip, the woman stands there while her dog goes, then the owner gets dragged off and the cleanup never happens, which is apparently when the cash starts rolling in.

Once people realized other complexes have similar programs, the couple’s rent-paying strategy stopped being a one-off joke and started looking dangerously repeatable.
The world is increasingly digital, and with this comes various inventions, including new ways for people to make money.
Some people make money from selling NFTs, cryptocurrency, or even by showing viewers bits and pieces of their lives. Yet, nothing could be as fascinating as making money from snitching on people who don’t clean up after their dogs.
