The final straw happened because of the dog. We were having a particularly hot summer, and she would apparently just leave him leashed to a bench on the front porch all day while we were at work. I came home to a note taped to our front door from one of our neighbors, a dog walker, who was just appalled by it and offered to take the dog to the vet on her own dime, as he was pretty obviously not well. She agreed, and several of us on the block contributed to the cost. A week later, he was back on the porch. At that point, the landlord had about all he could take and evicted her.
