Shelly Rike Mitchell ESA pet and a non ESA dog
2 December 2025 | 4 replies
According to Fair Housing laws, ESAs are treated as medical devices, not typical everyday pets, at least if you reside in Texas and are an unexempt very small landlord.The documentation you have for this ESA is key: Always make sure that you are obtaining valid verification per Michele's form, or a similar method.Review the ESA letter closely; you must only accept letters that are from their active health care provider (either therapist or physician), and not generic online certificates that are not specific to their needs.Do not assess fees for having an ESA.

Both were controlled by Weinstein, though Newbery did not realize they were shell entities.Disputes and EvidenceAHP underperformed in collecting on the SCLCs and claimed Oak Harbor failed to transfer or cooperate properly.Weinstein accused AHP of misusing recovered funds, but the court found no proof of wrongdoing.Weinstein later attempted to take back certain SCLCs unilaterally, which AHP viewed as a breach of trust.In December 2023, Oak Harbor sued to enforce payment on the note.In December 2024, AHP formally exercised its “Put Remedy” within the allowed 24-month window, returning the uncollected claims.Court’s Legal ConclusionsIntegrated Contracts: The Promissory Note and Purchase Agreement were one unified deal and must be interpreted together.No Breach by AHP:The “waterfall” payment structure required that AHP first recover its servicing fees ($100,000 per year) and costs before paying Oak Harbor.Oak Harbor had collected about $773,000 independently from the same claims but failed to share those proceeds with AHP as the contract required.Because those waterfall priorities were unmet, AHP owed no interest or payments on the note.Put Remedy Properly Exercised:The court held that “unrealized” meant uncollected—not unenforceable—claims.AHP’s December 2024 “put back” was valid and timely.$2 Million Cash Term Unresolved:Both sides intended to settle this with other debt offsets but never finalized the arrangement; hence, there was no enforceable breach.Fraud Defense:AHP showed that Weinstein used nominee companies (Keydally/Pallida) and an uninformed Irish signatory (paid €6,000) to disguise ownership, inflating the sale price.However, the court found AHP failed to prove reasonable reliance or all elements of fraud because Newbery was also a sophisticated businessman who neglected due diligence.Final JudgmentThe court entered judgment for AHP Servicing, LLC and Jorge Newbery, rejecting all of Oak Harbor’s claims for breach of contract, conversion, and turnover of assets.

If the guy's solid and has been in for several years, I'm a lot more comfortable than I am with someone who started this year -- then it starts looking like a shell game.Every adult must be on the lease, and each must pass your screening tests, and each must be responsible for the entire rent.
