Ordinance Lease Agreement: Fill & Download for Free

Absolutely! The Muslim Baker should be free to refuse service to anyone. And for any reason. If we took the wedding cake argument to the logical next step, why not ask the Jewish Caterer to roast a pig for a wedding? The Vegan, Gluten Free Caterer to serve Ham, Egg, and Cheese Sandwiches on Whole Wheat Bagels? A Folk Musician for Heavy Metal? And let's make the Photographer provide floral arrangements? They just don't do these things. We could prevent refused services through local ordinance or private lease agreements, i.e. if you're going to be in our jurisdiction (govt or private as a lessee, for example) you agree to these rules. Ultimately some will disagree with the rules and the rules would be changed or those who disagree will choose not to do business in that jurisdiction.

Something about your question seems a little off. Ultimately, you aren’t the landlord, so you have no right to cut down anything on the property just because you think it shouldn’t be there - assuming it is the landlord’s property, and you are renting an apartment in a complex. What the neighbors do in their part of the complex is between them and the landlord. For all we know, your neighbors have already negotiated with the landlord to pay extra for access to land they can use for gardening. What the landlord does about vegetation growing on his land is his decision, not yours.For that reason, you definitely should not call men with guns to the scene because you think there are some plants where they shouldn’t be and you want the landlord to do something about it - unless you’re a 100% pure grade Karen. They will tell you to take it up with your landlord as it is a civil, not criminal issue, or at most will tell you to call the non-emergency code enforcement line about the vegetation growing, if it actually is against code/local ordinance, etc. They may even give you a ticket for abusing 911 services. They are not just there for you to call anytime you have an issue in your life that isn’t going how you want it to. They are there for emergencies and criminal acts. This is not criminal at all; it is a civil issue between you and your landlord. And ultimately, if you don’t like what he does with his property then you are free to move somewhere else.Edit: It’s been drawn to my attention that many lease agreements do contain a clause stating that “common areas” of the apartment complex cannot be used for the benefit of a single tenant. I’m not sure if “common areas” would include outdoors, or if it would still be legal in such a case for a landlord to rent outdoor land to a tenant for purpose of gardening. If your lease does have this provision, I would try 1) talking to the landlord and 2) talking to code enforcement, and if nothing came of that, then I would move to 3) having a free consultation with an attorney who specializes in tenant’s rights to find out my options. Most likely you could pay the lawyer a small sum to write a strongly-worded letter to the landlord that may fix the entire situation. But then you have to be ready for the landlord possibly not wanting to renew your lease anymore at the end of the lease period, so you should also consider how badly you need this particular housing before doing all of this.

I suspect there’s more to this story — first, are cats permitted in your apartment? Did the front desk lady actually enter your apartment and steal your cat? Or was your cat roaming loose outside, and was given away because it was stray? Was allowing animals to roam loose against your lease agreement? (If they were allowed at all)?The woman did break the law and stole your personal property — if she won’t help you recover it, you can certainly involve the police in the matter. However, if you also broke your lease in the process, you may be evicted. And if you let your cat roam loose, that may have been against ordinance, depending on the ordinances where you live.If you want your cat back, your only recourse is to go to the police and bring photos and vet records, as well as a screenshot of the FB post, as others have said.
