Q: I am in a 3 year lease in a shared space where the landlord uses the other half of the office for her business.
When I moved in she had cats in my portion of the space but was willing to move them out to lease the space to me. She ended up only moving the cats to her side of the office and hasn’t gotten rid of any. There are 6 cats and it is embarrassing with clients and not professional. I did not ask to have anything about the cats in the lease because I thought she would actually get rid of them...do I have a legal out given the circumstances?
A: If she continues to allow the cats to invade your space, you probably have grounds to break the lease or rental agreement (whichever you have) because she has failed to follow the agreement as to the cats. Good Luck.
