Touche!
NEVER MESS WITH A CAT MOM OR DAD...
Hopefully we can all put our heads together and think of a way to soften Mr. Landlord.
I actually lied to my new landlord of 3 years, and pretended that Simon was sleeping inside, just in case we get Chestnut a friend in the future. I don't think he'd say anything, he rarely stops by but he's not like my old landlord who was the sweetest.
I feel things will work out for you and your sweet boy.

Thanks you guys! I just don't think I can do the certification thing. He knows he's a stay that came up here. Plus, would take too long to even get in to see my nurse practitioner, & as said, don't know if that's even something he can do, & he's all I have.
I looked at tenant rights a while bk for NC, & we don't have much. Also keep in mind, because theses are his houses he rents out, & I have been here for 17 yrs w/ o a lease. I just have to try ,& hope he will soften up.
@margd, thanks, but have no idea where he even goes outside.
He hasn't used the box since kept in for the storm, I didn't think I had anything, but had kept the old litter bag, since it zips up, to put poop bags in, until I take out the trash. PRAISE GOD!!!! I did have one! Dumped it in like you said, & showed hi. & He covered it , & is peeing now!!
THANK YOU MARGD!!!![emoji]128538[/emoji][emoji]128538[/emoji][emoji]128538[/emoji][emoji]128156[/emoji]
Whew!!!

Thank you for all the undeserved thanks! It was @mazie who suggested priming the pump with an old poop.
If you go to that link I posted, you can complete your evaluation online and obtain your letter of recommendation for an ESA....all online!! No need to go to your nurse practitioner.
ESAs are covered under the 1988 Federal Fair Housing Act so likely any citation of state tenant law is only going to support the Federal Act.

Oh, Thank you! I will!
I just don't want to make him more mad, by doing that, like such a defiant act against what he said anyway. Especially since he knows he wasnt one.
Just don't want rent raised!!!! And yea, he would go there.
Just hope I don't have to have anything pro IMG why I need one, don't k is what I'd use.

I totally get that. I was thinking about your situation being a little delicate because you don't have a lease. Just wanted you to have the information so you know that you are well within your rights.
Not having a lease can be good and bad. Most tenant law protects against retaliation (i.e. Raising your rent) but I'm not sure if that protection is only afforded to you if you are in a lease and would be a state statute not a federal law. Because I'm curious, I'm going to poke around a bit further into NC tenant law just to see what I can find.
Kelly, I think this is a great piece of news.
Your landlord can't show up and demand that you get rid of Sammy or move out right away. He has to tell you in writing and give you 30 days to find somewhere else and move out. Before it comes to that he would have to tell you in writing that you have to re-home Sammy or else.
I lived in a No-Pets apartment for over a year with my first cat. We kept her hidden when the fire alarm people keep round to do their 6-monthly checks, which was the only time anyone official stepped into the apartment. I knew of at least two other cats and a dog in the same building. As long as there were no complaints and you were discrete you could get away with it.
What I'm saying is, don't feel that you have to re-home Sammy right now. Look around for a new home for him if you're really worried about your situation, but don't feel that he has to leave immediately. It sounds like your landlord will probably turn a blind eye to the situation now that he has told you that he doesn't allow pets. In the mean time you can look for a new home for Sammy, or a better place for yourself or a nice man with his own house.
I'm actually now wondering what is in her lease agreement. Does it specifically say no cats? Does she even have a written lease agreement?

No, I've never had one in the 17 yrs I've lived here. He just told me he didn't do them, so if I needed to move to just give him 30 days & vise, versa. Probably because if he gets some bad renters, he can just kick them out.
He is an older southern, redneck, barber. He doesn't do paperwork, etc... I doubt he uses a computer. I don't know. Once I needed a verification of rent amount for something, & when I asked him for it, he told me if I typed it up, he would sign it.
So yes a lease is good & bad.
@HelloMissKitty, thanks, but back a while ago when he threatened going up on rent , I was all worried, so looked into tenant laws & there is t much. Not that apply anyway. Because it's his property, he can pretty much do what he wants. So.....
I am just going to have to hope & pray for favor. I am going to have to work it out here. I can not afford anywhere else. (I've looked!)

If you don't have a written lease agreement that says no cats he does not have a leg to stand on. On what grounds can he evict you? Tell him you're consulting a lawyer to see what rights you have. Sounds like he's full of bluff & bluster & will try to pretend nothing has happened in a few days. Amazing how people can make others miserable over such a stupid thing.

@HelloMissKitty , I finally just looked at the attachment you posted. Unfortunately, that would not work for me, as I have no history, or have any of the disabilities listed. My landlord knows this as well, since he's known me for 17 years. He would also know it was a reach behind his back, so to speak & just make it worse. Thank you though.

Cell phone smilies look different on desktop, those were kisses, Margd!
@mazie, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Thank you for all the undeserved thanks! It was @mazie who suggested priming the pump with an old poop.I suggested using some dirt from outside. Anyway, great news that it worked.
I have a thought. One of our members who is super computer savy start a THE CAT SITE petition where we as members can sign our names in your behalf, directed to your landlord?? With ANNE'S permission first, of course. Just an idea, a good idea if this would be possible?? Worth a try? What do you all think??

This may be a long shot and I am not sure if Angels mommy would feel comfortable doing this or has already tried this but I am going to put it out here. You have mentioned that you have clients you clean houses for and do massages for. Are any of these clients also considered to be personal friends? The reason I am asking this is because not all people looking to rent out places advertise. Also you may be able to find places that just became available but may not have been advertised yet. If you have clients you are comfortable sharing your personal situation with maybe they know of someone who is looking looking for someone to rent property. Sometimes people are more comfortable finding tenants going through people they know instead of advertising. Perhaps someone has a friend that is a landlord that would be willing to work with you on what you can afford and be willing to accept Sammy. I hope my suggestion does not make Angels mommy uncomfortable. I know you have said you do not want to have a room mate but perhaps someone out there knows someone who has a big enough space to rent that you would have your own privacy and space so you would not feel like you have a room mate.
