3 roommates + me (H (me), R, M, W) R has her cat on lease W did not realize that meant cat can be in house anywhere and not just confined to R’s room. W doesn’t like it. W now wants an ESA dog. M does not want to be involved, same here. More in comments

It sounds like W doesn’t like that things aren’t going the way they want them to go and is fighting for complete control of the house rules. Tell W the cat stays so their choices are stop complaining or back out of the lease, if they want a dog they need to take that up with the leasing office (assuming y’all have no qualms about a dog), and rules can be discussed when they get there and not before including any future complaints. All further complaints can be left on read.

W is still complaining abt cat (states she wouldn’t have signed if she knew back in FEBRUARY - we ( H & M ) moved in in June, R in July and W has yet to even move in. W is already complaining about agreement stuff that got changed after me and M moved in and saw house.

If the cat is ESA…it still can only be in R’s bedroom. Animals are not allowed in common spaces like shared bathroom, kitchen, or living space. Technically W can report the animal if it is in the common spaces.

Unfortunately you won’t be able to stay out of this forever as you will have to live with W for the duration of their lease but that should at least shut down the drama until they move in.

R’s cat wasn’t specified to be an ESA like the dog W wants, which leads me to believe the cat is a normal pet. Some people have this notion that cats don’t require as much room as a dog because they’re “lower maintenance”. There’s also the possibility that the lease only allows one pet so W is attempting to bypass that with the FHA by getting an ESA. Regardless of what the context is, it’s still very clear that W is only wanting a dog for the purposes of retaliation and that’s not a good reason

It states on our addendum that the cat can be in shared spaces

The place is originally no animals period- however R is very dependent on her cat, and honestly I don’t mind W having a dog, I like all animals

Idk when she moves in for sure, but the only one with an issue about the dog is R. I love all animals, as long as I don’t have to take care of them FOR the owner. Yes I’ll help, but they’re not mine. By staying out, I meant I’m not middle manning it. I will not communicate for R like I have before, she needs to compromise with W.

Unfortunately, I think W, M and R are all peeved things aren’t their way. I’m more than happy to accommodate and compromise, but so far nobody else is. I’m so stressed and exhausted from consistent panic attacks - I get anxious even going home.

Good to know and definitely tell W that the dog situation is up to the leasing office to decide then. Also love that the cat’s ability to enter common areas so W act like R has to shut the cat up

I wasn’t expecting you to middle man anything, just giving you some things to say if W was contacting you directly about these complaints. I’m sorry that it sounds like all your roommates are people that should have lived alone but the best advice I can give you for now is just to stick with what the lease says and what they have agreed to within reason. Hopefully they’ll all get over themselves and realize all this complaining gets them nowhere
