my roommate is the biggest jerk i've ever met. It goes like this: He got a dog a couple weeks ago. The dog was behaving well in the first couple days....but then she started to pee and crap on the carpet. I've told him to get her in the kitchen by putting her on a leash or get some gate things that blocks her in the kitchen, but he won't do it. So he then hid the leash and blocked the balcony door close so that I can't keep her in the kitchen or put her out on the balcony when he's not here. So I found a rope and used that as a leash, but he cuts that when he got back in the apartment. I've thought about going to the managment, but is there anything I can do before reaching that point?
