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

lease says no pets but ESA rights. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $3,887. I have a written lease.

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

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

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

So this is more common than people think.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
