Roommate got a dog, but lease said no pets, now what?
<p>My roommate's boyfriend's dog is living in our shared apartment. She has essentially adopted it. Our lease that I signed said <code>no pets</code>.</p>

<p>My landlord found out about the dog and let her keep it. Neither one of them consulted me and I definitely do not want it living here. What recourse do I have besides moving out when the lease is up? Can I break the lease?</p>

<p>You can sue your co-tenant for breaching the lease, either for damages or a court order that she remove the dog. Just because the landlord waived his right to do so doesn't mean that you have. The lease is a contract between the three of you.</p>

<p>You cannot terminate (which I think is what you mean by "break") the lease as the landlord has not given you any cause to do so.</p>

<p>Of course, you might as well move out because suing your co-tenant is a pretty toxic move.</p>
