I believe my roomate is poisoning the home with ammonia
I live with a roommate who is vindictive and has a new problem with me every day. The newest one is that the house smells like ammonia and it's from my cats
I had the cats neutered and spayed and have had them in the house for 6 months. They have never peed anywhere besides the liter box and i change it 2timeson a day. My roomate text me telling me to take care of this ammonia smell and i knew she was lying, however when i got home i smelt ammonia that i never smelt before by the stairs. I strongly believe she bought ammonia and put it on the stairs to prove a point to me. I have been catching her in odd lies a lot lately and would like to know how i can prove the smell ia not from my cats.

She keeps giving you altermatoms, through one back at her. Tell her that you have tried to live up to her demands as a room mate but find her constant need for you to change waring and impossible to forefill. At the end of it all, you are what you are and you can't change just because she wants you to, she can take it or leave it. But what good is it doing anyone to bicker constantly. So, you've tried meeting her terms, it hasn't worked, there's always new ones. Suggest maybe it's time one of you move out as you're bad for oneanother - see what she says to that. If she insists it's you that moves, maybe you should consider calling her bluff. If she backs down, as this might just wake her up to the prospects of a new roomy who'll displease her even more or is less tolerant of her winges or she may feel she won't cope financially on her own till finding another - you win. You'll always know in future you have power over her. If she doesn't back down, maybe it would be better for you to get away from her anyway. The atmosphere must be pretty toxic, if she really is setting these things up it could get a lot nastier. I'd leave. No one should have to put up with that. Also, try asking her without coming across condescending - "I feel I have done all I can to prevent any annoying smells from the cats. If you have any new ideas, please tell me and I'll b happy to give them a go (aside from getting rid of them) - but, bottom line, personally I wouldnt stick around. There are plenty of potential roomys without her attitude. Why stay and suck up the nasty atmosphere? Good luck

Cats urine smells like ammonia but I do not believe it is actually ammonia. If the smell is that strong call the fire department. They have meters to tell how strong the odor is and if the strength is strong enough to be harmful to you. If so they will air out the house until the levels come down.
Should they find levels of ammonia high enough to force them to air out the house with their power fans then I would say it is not the cats and you should call the police.
You could if you want provided your name is on the lease, just ask her to move out. If she does not want to move out you will then have to legally evict her.
You would have to go to the Court House and request a notice of eviction against her. You would have to state why you want to evict her and their would be a hearing in front of a judge. You would then tell the judge of the problems you are having with her and ask that she be ordered to leave.
I would think the notice to evict would cause her to leave rather than have an eviction on her credit record.
If she is the person whose name is on the lease then the problem becomes yours as whether to stay or to go. Just proving to her she is lying to you is not going to change her or change your living conditions. If she is the one putting ammonia on the carpets she already knows this.

Tell her if she has a problem she can leave and to stop and realize that al this isn't fair 2 u. Try to be friendly with her though so she doesn't do mean stuff though. If you know she's lying also then dont let it bother u!
