Landlords and tenants can get into all kinds of disputes, especially when pets are involved. The vast majority of those resolved amicably, with adjustments to pet behavior, perhaps an additional deposit, and, in extreme cases, a tenant and pet relocating. The one way you don't resolve a pet dispute, if you're the landlord, is by illegally entering the tenant's apartment and poisoning the pet with antifreeze.
But that's what one Portland woman is claiming happened to her 11-month-old Persian mix, and she's suing her landlord for $253,000. Someone is getting served!
