Cat owner sues roommates after they kick her off the lease for having cats, judge sides with her and awards $880 in court: 'I was so nervous but felt that I could win'

Renting with pets is already a challenge between pet deposits, monthly pet rent, and strict lease clauses that treat your four-legged friend like a criminal, it can feel like you're asking for permission to harbor a fugitive. And when you toss roommates into the mix, things can go south pretty fast.

Sometimes you luck out and your roommates treat your dog like their own personal therapy animal, or they let your cat curl up in their laundry basket like it's no big deal. But other times, you might be dealing with people who act like your pet is a biohazard because it walked within 10 feet of their bedroom. And when tensions rise, it's rarely the animals who are the problem, it's obviously the humans.
