Irritated by the proprietor, the account
u/Nodog4uAITA took his story to the subreddit
r/AmItheAsshole on Reddit and received some helpful advice. The poster was annoyed by his new landlord, who always came to the flats without notice and brought his disorderly Dalmatian on every visit, ignoring the fact that pets were not allowed in the building. After three sudden visits, the tenant decided to speak out against the landlord. He required that the dog should be excluded from the apartment as the ban on
animals was written clearly in the lease.

Other renters had diverse opinions about the proprietor’s action. They also mentioned that the landlord had called the Redditor “troublemaker” because of not letting his dog into the property.

The tenant won support from the internet, as it was apparent that the apartment owner was the wrongdoer when he had broken the rules. After paying to live in a flat, the renter should have the right to refuse unwanted guests. Even the landowner should show respect for him in most circumstances.

The landlord was criticized heavily by the online community for his ill-mannered behaviors. He had to announce properly before paying a visit to the building if there were no emergencies, let alone following the rule of no animals described in the lease. Many Reddit users mentioned that in some regions, a 24-hour notice was necessary before a visit from the landlord. Therefore, they suggested that the poster check his state laws and even discuss with tenant lawyers if needed.

Many users were angry as the landlord disparaged the tenant while he was the wrong person. Redditors believed that the property owner was an awful person, so similar problems tended to continue in the future. Some even advised the poster to move to another place if he wanted to avoid struggles.
