It sounds like she should’ve been honest with the housing office about having a pet from the start. That way, this whole messy situation could’ve been avoided before it even began!

You picked no-pet housing for a reason. It’s only fair the rules apply to everyone. Allowing her pet when it’s clearly not allowed isn’t just unfair, it disrupts the whole living situation.

Boundaries are definitely important! Especially when it comes to roommates and sharing a space. This situation sounds like a rocky start to any pawsible roommate relationship, and that’s no way to begin living together!
