Manager and Tenant dispute
I am having a problem with my Manager (son of owner). I had a verbal agreement with his dad a few years back that I could keep my pet (Big G) and now the son is stepping in as manager and asking I get rid of him. What are the chances of the verbal agreement I had with his father (landlord) standing in court? I am now in the UD stage, I just filed my answer today.
All 4 Big-g! |

The first thing I learned in my business law class was, "Verbal agreement? What verbal agreement?"
Unless the owner, whom you made the agreement with, will testify that you did, in fact have a verbal agreement, it's going to be tough for you to win. This is why it's so important to get everything in writing - so everyone knows what is expected. You MIGHT (if you get the right judge) be able to plead you've had the pet for years, they knew you had the pet, and it's only become a problem now, so you have an implied contract that it's okay to have the pet, but there are no promises there. Good luck to you. |

The Judge might agree to let you keep your dog for the duration of the lease. The landlord cannot change terms in mid-lease. Did you pay extra for the dog, extra rent, extra security? |
