Well she hasn’t moved in or signed the lease so that’s on her. I think you’re fine otherwise you’re gonna needa find a new roommate

the only way this would work is if you keep the cat in your bedroom at all times, which is doable but isn't super fair to your cat. like if she's allergic then you can't let the cat go into shared spaces unless you clean it really well afterwards. I'm really sorry! I don't think anyone is at fault here, but it's just not a compatible situation

additionally, her and my other roommate get along really good. the other roommate brought me in then found the 3rd and knows her. i’m worried they’re gonna decided i’m the one who should move out even tho im already in and have been since may. they say we all have to sign the lease again but im (knowing nothing) think it’s ridiculous bcs i already signed a lease until MAY 27

one more addition SORRY LMAO. she’s bringing in a hunting dog without asking me! again, i was just told this girl was coming in with her dog. upon conversation with my family, we are really confused how a dog of that nature is going to be in a tiny house with a tiny yard.

Did you sign this and let her know you are looking for a cat or is this gonna be a surprise to everyone

short answer, she (C) didn’t know. long answer, i (A) never got to meet her before roommate B texted me to tell the landlord I was fine with her which i stupidly did without a conversation. however, roommate B did know there was a very high likely hood of me cat sitting for extended periods of time, so it was known there would likely be a cat in the house.

Well that’s a little different she told them about the dog while being chosen yours is new. You definitely need to make it clear the cat is coming and not a possibility so they can plan accordingly
