Unauthorized Pet becomes Companion Animal

[Demetri T.]

I am fairly certain I am asking a legal question- and ironically I am a lawyer (not in this area though!)... just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction or perhaps encountered this.

Just found one of my tenants has a cat (at least one) in violation of her lease.  I sent her the notice that she was in violation of her lease etc etc.  

Today she walks in my office, gives my assistant a note from her doctor that she needs an animal and turns away without saying anything to my assistant.

I am pretty annoyed at this but it seems like my hands may be tied and I will just have to accept this animal. She may no prior effort to comply or even ask about a cat.  She never completed my "Reasonable Accommodation" request form- and she hasn't been provided or completed my "Companion Pet" agreement that I have everyone sign. (I have other companion animals in the complex who filled out the forms etc which were annoying but they did it the right way.)  

Mostly I am ticked that she got caught and is just gaming the system to get her pet "legal".

I almost want to just give her her "No-Cause" notice and move on to someone else- but then I don't want to get in trouble for "retribution".
