Sheikh Jamil Ahmad — stray dog menace inside building

My neighbour, who also happens to be one of the landlords, keeps stray dogs inside the building in the passage outside our doors and also on the staircase. She places food and water in the passage for them to feed on. This causes quite a nuisance to us as the entire area stinks, I get ticks crawling on the walls of my appartment sometimes and most people get scared to enter the building and so often we do not get our mail from couriers or my messages from my company as the couriers/ despatch riders are scared of coming home.

I have requested her several times but to no avail and when i shoo the dogs out, or pour some eucalyptus oil in the passage to neutralise the stink, she starts yelling and saying that as she's is the landlord, she can do whatever she likes in the common areas such as passages and staitcases. I have tolerated her nonsense for well over a year and now it's getting worse. Can you please help? Surely there must be a law that if you have a dog it should me kept in your own house and not outside someone else's? How can I get her to remove these dogs from the passage and staircase?
