Stuck in avoidance and shame paralysis for two weeks – petrified to open my inbox. Please help with practical ways to write these emails

Urgent help needed: is it fair to ask for a rent reduction? I moved in to a shared apartment advertised as having one roommate, but now there is a couple, two cats and their dog, and me nd my dog are limited in using the shared spaces and feel very uncomfortable.
