OP back. BTW, in case anyone didn't see it, YES, I DO like this idea too!

These types of people also don't treat their dogs for fleas, so the lawn area on the property where they take their dogs to poop and not pick them up - are also flea infested.

I don't blame you! Back when I had my dog, I never took him to dog parks because God knows how disgusting the grounds were there. My dog was strictly indoors & of course NOT to imply that my dog is any better than anyone else's dog, but of course I care for him how I want to care for him, so of course I don't want him sick or injured either.

OP, I assume the $110 covers the cost of the poop DNA test and will not effect your rent going up (key word: assume).

Good point! My complex is quite large, so I'm sure many tenants have visitors who bring their visiting dogs too, so when visiting dogs pooh & the owners don't clean up, the leasing office still won't be able to tell whose it is. It's impossible to swab ALL possible visiting dogs too.
Well, I'm sure my high rent helped pay for some part of this. After all, I'm sure the pet DNA company wanted my complex to pay some kind of up-front cost or down payment, etc.
The $110 penalty for each perpetrator will just pay for
their own neglect & laziness in not cleaning up their dog & the DNA testing to prove it's theirs.
