I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

lease says no pets but ESA rights. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 2 years. My monthly rent is $1,688. I have a written lease.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

I've dealt with this before.

What trips people up most is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
