My parents, and their neighbors, have a huge problem with a neighbor who is feeding about twenty-plus un-spayed/un-neutered stray cats who have made going out into the yard impossible, between the fleas and the pungent cat waste. The landlord lives on the property and they have asked him to take care of the issue with the tenant, but aside from telling her she is not allowed to keep feeding the cats, he’s done nothing and claims that is the end of his responsibility. My parents will have to replace their roof sooner then planned because it is being ruined by the cats. In general, the cat issue has made living there quite unpleasant. We’ve gone the SPCA route, contacted the pound, but no one can offer any help. Do they have legal recourse to compel the landlord to take responsibility, financial or otherwise, for this issue?
