‘We both agreed on a strict no-pets policy’: Despite a clear lease, roommate brings home surprise ’emotional support cat,’ sparking strain with allergic roommate

This roommate situation has officially gone off the rails… and possibly off the lease. They both agreed to a no-pets policy for a reason, and cat allergies aren’t just a mild inconvenience. Sneezing, itching, wheezing, living like that daily is no small hissteria.

So when Lily waltzed in with a surprise emotional support cat and declared the rules no longer apply? That’s where things got whisker-twisty. Emotional support animals can be a legitimate need, but that doesn’t cancel out someone else’s health needs or give a free pass to break the lease without a conversation.

It’s one thing to need support. It’s another to completely ignore boundaries, go full stealth-mode with a furball, and then cry foul when asked to find a compromise. That kind of cattitude is bound to spark tension in any shared living space.

It’s about coexisting. And right now, one person’s needs (and sinuses) are being trampled while a sneaky new roommate prowls the halls. Someone’s got to step up and set things straight before this apartment turns into a full-on cat-astrophe.
