Illegal Lockout by Landlord — lease says no pets but ESA rights

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

lease says no pets but ESA rights. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 8 years. My monthly rent is $3,238. We are on a month-to-month now.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the implied warranty of habitability. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct uninhabitable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
