Former professional wrestler and Instagram model Brooke Adams is suing her former landlord, claiming he wrongfully evicted her because of her emotional support dog.Adams and her fiance, Weston Wayne Piper, started renting a house in the Greater Heights area of Houston in February 2017, according to court documents. When they moved in, they paid a pet deposit fee for a small dog named Noodles.Then on Dec. 4, 2017, the couple brought home an emotional support dog named Waffles, for Adams – which is where their troubles began."He was just the cutest thing," Adams said about Waffles in court.Adams testified that she suffers from depression and that Waffles helped her cope. She said she had posted a picture of Waffles on Instagram, explaining that he was a service animal, hoping to shed light on the reality of depression.Fan Chen, who owns the property, and Rutkun Tao, the property manager, saw the post and noticed that Waffles was not the same dog as Noodles.The day after Adams brought Waffles home, the two told Adams and Piper they violated the terms of their lease because they did not give prior notice about Waffles being on the property. They also asked that the couple pay an additional pet deposit fee.Adams testified that they offered to pay the extra pet deposit fee, but that Chen and Tao refused to accept it. Instead, the landlords gave the couple two eviction notices in a matter of weeks.Adams and Piper vacated the house on New Year's Eve that year.Under federal housing laws, landlords are required to provide reasonable accommodations to tenants with service and assistance animals, such as an emotional support dog. Guidelines from HUD say that tenants must make requests to their landlords for accommodations.Assistance and service animals are not considered pets under federal law, however.Adams testified in federal court Tuesday that she believes she wasn't required to tell Chen about Waffles, saying that it was her "right" to have the dog.About a month after Adams and Piper left the home, attorneys for Chen and Tao sent a letter to the couple demanding close to $14,000 for attorney fees, lost rent and other charges associated with the couple leaving the house.The couple originally sued Chen in Texas state court, but that lawsuit was moved to federal court in November 2018.
