Brief Answer:
Note will note be valid as we have not examined you personally
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query, I have also gone through your previous query and pictures.
Animal-to-human transmission is also common. the fungus can be acquired while petting or grooming an animal.
The note from here will not be valid as we have not examined you and diagnosis is based on the pictures, your land lord is less likely to give much importance to it.
I would suggest you to see local doctor, let him examine and confirm the diagnosis. While you visit, inform him about the pets, and ask him if he can provide a certificate, that will be helpful to you.
Meanwhile apart from the measures suggested earlier, I would suggest you wash hands after handling animals, soil, and plants, with antiseptic solution.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
