My apartment has a private, attached yard. i was assured by my manager that my two dogs, who are on my lease and paid for through a pet deposit, could remain out there while I was at work. Well, the building was sold, a new manager came in, and she told me I couldn't leave them out there. The week before she had painters come in to do the back of the building that is within the confines of my yard and didn't notify me. The dogs got out and then I was the one who was blamed. Because I wanted to stay on good terms with her I followed her request.

My dogs use the yard when I am home and that's it. I allow them to go to the bathroom out there, cause who wouldn't? It's just dirt and a few squares of concrete.

Now she's issuing me a 3 day violation notice and I haven't done anything wrong. She's saying the dogs have soiled my apartment and the lobby rug. The apartment, admittedly yes, but the lobby rug, hell no! I paid a pet deposit, so that covers the carpet, no? And if I asked her if I should get my carpets cleaned and she said no, then why am I at fault?

I don't know what to do! How do I get her off my back? Please help!
