Well - he's technically not even our roommate. He's our roommate's boyfriend. We have 2 dogs - he has 1. His dog and 1 of our dogs don't get along - they could potentially really hurt eachother. So we keep them separate. His dog is lonely and whines when she's outside so they always bring her in, which means our dogs are always outside. We have to constantly check for where the dogs are before letting them in or out. Plus, his dog is only 9 months old and gets excited and has little accidents EVERYWHERE! My husband is constantly cleaning up little pee spots on the carpet. We only allowed her to stay because it was supposedly temporary - he was going to find a home for her. This was 2 months ago, and we found out yesterday through our other roommate that he's keeping her. I think if he wants her to stay - 1. We have to ask the landlord first and both of them have to be on the lease. 2. He needs to pay for professional dog training to help them get along. Help!

My husband wants his dog gone. Can we ask him to get rid of her? We like him living there and we're all friends - but he's really attached to this dog. Can we get kicked out of our house if our landlord finds out we have an extra dog that isn't on the lease?

I do not know about the issue of lease violation, but I would say prob so; there is one extra human and one extra dog that was not agreed upon in the lease. Is there any particular reason him and his gf just don't get a place of their own? We have foster dogs and cats and volunteer for our local animal rescue group; but before I bring ANY dog in my home to foster or dog sit, I do a temperament test (regardless of what any one else says about the dogs temperament), socialize whatever foster dogs are here at the time and my own dogs with the new foster dogs SEPARATELY in rotations. If after awhile, the new foster dog is still a problem, we will fit it in with another foster home or trade foster dogs if someone else has a dog that works better with my dogs and vice versa. My family and I love animals and are dedicated to animal rescue and fostering, but plain and simple my dogs come FIRST and I would not have a dog in my home that was causing problems. Either the bf and the dog need to seek a Basic Obedience Class and EVERYONE needs to work on socializing the dogs properly, or bf,his dog, and his gf need to find a new place, or he needs to find the dog a home through either ads in paper or online, flyers etc. You have been MORE than generous here. A lot of folks would have made him take his dog to the pound and not cared what happened to the dog from there. HOPE IT WORKS OUT GOOD LUCK

Is your roommate on the lease? If not, give her 2weeks notice to pack her bags and get out. You can always take this matter to court, because you do have a right to feel safe in your own home. If your landlord knows you and the kinds of animals you usually take in, then you shouldn't have to worry about him putting pet restrictions in your lease. If your roommate's dog does bite somebody, then there will definitely be a pet restriction and your roommate will probably be kicked out. Hope this helped. You may want to ask a lawyer or a real estate agent even for advice.

I will talk to them to make a plan with there dog, if it is going to stay they must clean after it and you must come to a agreement so that your dogs can also be in the house . Like for instance there's are out side in the mornings and your inside and the other way around in the afternoons. They must also add her on the lease before there is any trouble. Good luck!!!!!

I would talk to your roommate and tell her that its not fair to your dog that have to be outside. And just tell her that you guys can get in trouble for having another dog on the lease, whether or not its true. Then if she says that she cant get ride of the dog, or make her boyfriend take it back, then she would have to leave. Whatever happens, your dogs come first. Its YOUR house, and YOUR dogs live there.... Not the other way around

Depending on your landlord, he may be putting you in risk of getting kicked out. 1) because he is not on the lease and living there 2) he has a dog which is not on the lease either
You should talk to him and make an action plan to everyone is happy. Good luck!
