Free Puppy!

Finding an apartment in D.C. is a daunting task. Sure, there are plenty of living situation to choose from, but can you find one in the right neighborhood, with the right features, and more importantly, the right price? Faced with a number of new apartment complexes coming to market in the next year, the developers of 2M adopted an interesting marketing initiative to get renters in the door. No, it isn’t granite counter tops, free gym access, or heaven forbid – a rent decrease, it’s a puppy! Renters at 2M get to check out this adorable bulldog puppy like a library card. Want to take the dog to the park? Come down to the front desk and check it out. Just return the dog when you are done.

While I would LOVE the opportunity to play with a bulldog any time I would like, and not actually have to be responsible for taking care of it, this is not the perk I am looking for in an apartment. Try reducing the rent please, and then we can talk. I also feel a little bad for the guy. Being picked up and dropped off like that? Seems a little mean.
