Hmmm this isn't really a pet question.. it's a renting question.

Have you spoken to the roommate - tried to work it out with her? Maybe she could house the cat elsewhere. If she's not willing to work with you, look over the lease agreement and see if there is a penalty for breaking your lease. You can always get a Doctor's affadavit testifying to the fact that you are allergic to cat hair. Use it as the basis of breaking your lease.

That would be viewed as insufficient reason because the fault is not with the apartment itself, but with something a tennant has brought into it. You are, in short, stuck. Your options are to: A.)Take an allergy medication. B.) Convince your roommate to get rid of the cat. (Good luck.) or C.) Find an acceptable party to all concerned to assume your part of the lease, and move out.

You probably can if you take the responsibility to find someone to take over it for you. Talk to her about her views about it. If she's in agreement and the lease is paid for, then there shouldn't be a problem. You just have to make sure the person who moves in stays there because if they leave, the responsibility is back on you.

Health reasons supercede a lease--a discussion with the landlord will need to be done. If he forces you to stay, he's liable for any doctor bills incurred because of his actions, so it's not going to be too much of a fuss, though you may have to pay a penalty. It depends on your state and the city laws.

Yes, you will. You may need a letter from your doctor- but this certainly meets the requirements for early termination of a lease.

on the grounds that Gizmo likes to consume, you need to attempt in easy terms feeding him at specific situations during the day. i understand this could suck for him at first, yet finally that is going to help. swap him to a high quality indoor cat food. i could additionally perhaps purchase him some grass to munch on (it helps cats digest and that they desire some green of their food regimen on the grounds that they don't seem to be getting any in dry food.) cope with him to area of a can as quickly as each week or some healthful treats (like temptations.) this variety he's commonly used with you're actually not attempting to starve him. i think of as long as he does not bypass over the 30 lb mark, he must be ok. additionally, have him appeared at on the vet. they could have a answer as to a thank you to get him to take a seat up whilst eating. desire Gizmo drops some pounds quickly! good success!

Bless your heart. I hope you will be able to. Would think so as it is not your fault that you just found out you are allergic to cats. I am sure you are just miserable with the allergies.
Best of luck, God bless.

Uh wouldn't it be a bit smarter to be asking the landlord this question - not strangers on the internet?
