Re: Barking dogs
You are experiencing a nuisance! Make two calls - the town building inspector and the town board of health or health agent. Explain the situation and see if they can help. If the situation is beyond what is permitting under local law you may have some recourse. Otherwise, the nuisance MAY (not necessarily will) be sufficient grounds to seek termination of your lease.
