Thank you to those of you who provided helpful answers. To the rest of you, I knew what to expect when posting the blog, although I must say that you all sure do make a lot of assumptions... And you know what they say about ASSuming...

I was a good tenant for the most part. I was quiet (never once have I received a noise complaint). I didn't see clients at this apartment (aside from 2 or 3 spaced out over the several months I resided there). I was a tidy tenant. My rent has been paid on time every month. The dogs are gone, although neither of them barked too much nor did they cause damage to the unit. It was a huge mistake letting them visit and I take responsibility for my mistake. I told the manager about the cats when I moved in, but she obviously wanted to rent the unit badly enough to risk her job by keeping me off of the lease and thus kept the cats off of the lease, too. For the record, the ad they had on Craigslist said that the property was cat-friendly, otherwise I never would've contacted them. And yes, it is a thing to have emotional support animals - look it up.

I'm seeking legal counsel but will most likely just move in order to prevent an eviction from affecting my mom's credit. She is the most important person in the world to me and I will sacrifice and move into a far less ideal situation to protect her credit and prevent any further stress than this whole ordeal has already caused her.

Thanks again for taking the time to advise me.

Most leases have clauses that guests may only reside in the location for a short period of time (say 2 weeks) then they must add themselves to said lease to stay there.

The lease is completely worthless to you, you aren't on it. You are not authorized to be in the unit. You can't get around that.

You made a significant unauthorized change to the unit when you installed that lock. Landlords don't take kindly to that and don't care if you can easily change it.

You have pets which are not allowed (this is likely specified in the lease that Im seriously questioning if you have ever even read or have a copy of....and they don't have to give you one because it isn't legally your lease)

Long story short....you are not going to win this.

I hope the unit is in good shape because if I was the landlord I would not only kick you out but I'd trash your mom's credit and look into potential charges of fraud for being a sole signer on a lease and having no intention to be the tenant.

You got screwed by the person who convinced you to have your mom solely on the lease (if thats how it actually happened).

Goddamn, do you not own a fucking mirror?

Your multiple blogs detailing your various 'struggles' are all the result of your fucked up decisions in life.

And lachineseguy (thank you for my negative ratings by the way, even though I don't know you...):

One thing I can say for certain is that my pets are well cared for. Anybody who ACTUALLY knows me can attest to this. So don't act like I'm some animal abuser. You know NOTHING about me other than my very lowest points when I'm desperate enough to reach out on Hx for advice or help (and I have to be VERY desperate, for obvious reasons). Then you kick me while I'm down. How dare you? Get a life.

Same goes to Fubar and the rest of you fucking dicks

"...but will most likely just move in order to prevent an eviction from affecting my mom's credit. She is the most important person in the world to me and I will sacrifice and move into a far less ideal situation to protect her credit and prevent any further stress than this whole ordeal has already caused her."

In your heart of hearts, you already know what to do.

Think long term and live to fight another day. If you screw up your mom's clean rental history/record, then you are really cutting off the only hand that is able and willing to put a roof over your head now and in the future by signing a lease for you.

There's nothing to gain because you and your mom have already violated the terms of the lease in countless number of ways. You're not going to be able to win any monetary damages so no attorney is going to work on contingency. If you're actually paying money to file suit or even to defend it, then you're throwing away good money that should go toward relocating.

Whatever you do, you still need to pay rent during your 60-days notice to vacate or else the owner can serve you an additional 3-day pay or quit, and then get you out even faster.

Good luck.

Don't take it too personal. You know how we are...

As someone with some experience with these cases, you have informal tenancy through verbal agreement with the prior manager. Do you have anything written on the lease saying as much? Do you have any utilities, subscriptions, or anything with a date near move-in to support your tenancy? Since your mom has legal tenancy, landlord can't really kick her out without a 60-day notice as long as you start to comply with the 3-day. Is the lease term up and over with? Are you now month-to-month? How much was the deposit?

Why not negotiate with the new manager and beg to stay for 6 months while you find a new place? Talking and negotiating solves a lot of problems. No one really wants the stress of eviction.

The issue may not be personal but that the landlord wants to raise the rent, perhaps by a lot. Maybe the neighbors are complaining about something else, like how you use the common area, or the company you keep, or any violations of house rules. Who knows?
