I'v name changed for this. But am at the end of my tether and need advice. I recently bought a flat, its lovely and I'm really happy with it, but my neighbour has an absolutely huge dog and I'm allergic. She insists on taking it out for a walk three times a day through the communal hallway and I find it quite intimidating and it is making me sneeze.
I wasnt told about the dog when I bought the flat, and it doesnt make any noise. Apparently she has permission for it and permission can only be removed if it is making a noise or fouling - but not for any other nuisance. What can I do?
AIBU?

You’re a bit much OP. And a bit of a knob.

Thanks for those who actually were helpful. Hoovering more is a good shout, the management company hoovers once a month, and I know my neighbour hoovers inbetween, but I am going to write her a note saying that she needs to hoover every day, she obviously knows its a problem because she is already doing it a bit but weekly is just not enough.
I'm going to get a mask and see what the GP says and then see where we can go from there.
I'm not going to check this anymore because some of the comments are a bit much

It could be an assistant dog

Oo you’re famous. Can I have an autograph?

Ooh, they've quoted me!

The fact that you’ve changed your user name to post this says you already know you’re in the wrong! You’re being completely unreasonable, the dog is well cared for and well behaved- if you don’t like it then it’s your issue to deal with not your neighbours.
wear a mask, take antihistamine, move house - whatever, but stop expecting the world to change for your benefit!! Your reaction is completely unreasonable and OTT

Eh? I’ve youre talking about Antartica, she was pointing out that her reply to the OP was printed

I know you mean well but she was probably referring to the op who’s first sentence was that she has name changed for this

@SolasAnla unfortunately the lease just says that dogs are allowed with permission, and that permission will be revoked for noise nuisance or fouling, which I find weirdly specific. This dog is a nuisance, just not in the ways listed.
For those asking I think it is a labrador, but I dont know that that matters.
I'm just so upset, I can't afford to move again, and I am so miserable. I just wished they'd told me.
The facemasks are a good idea- I might try that, then at least the owner might get the picture that i am not happy
