What do you do when you find a tenant got a German Shephard when you said NO PETS?

It is in the lease, you told them no pets, and when you went to get the rent there is a half grown german shephard in a dog pen in the backyard. AND she had only a portion of the rent?|||You evict and sue for new carpeting and landscaping. You will win.





Congrats on the new lawn!|||You give her a 30-day eviction notice for violating the terms of the lease. Then when she moves out, you take any unpaid rent out of the deposit. You also take reasonable fees for marketing the apartment to a new tenant (newspaper ads, credit checks, etc.) out of the deposit.|||I agree with Paul. Be very nice, but be firm...they should receive an eviction notice that they violated their contract and as a result, they will be given 30 days to find a new home. The nicer you can be about it and the earlier you can give them the heads-up, typically the more willing they will be to accept the penalty. If you go in angrily on them like gangbusters, they'll be more likely to trash your house before they leave.|||Evict her.|||Well give them two options. You have a week to get the rest of the rent plus penalties, and get rid of the dog. Or you can find a new place to live by the end of the month. And will see you in court for any monies due, and any damage done.|||You can evict them|||You get rid of the tenant as quickly as possible. Her late rents and dog violation are sufficient to start an eviction action. She has violated two lease clauses.|||You deal with each issue seperately per the Landlord Tenant laws of your state.





You serve her the proper notice for failing to pay in full, depending on your state, it could be 3-10 day Pay or Quit Notice.





You also serve her a notice to cure or quit, per your atates laws, for the pet violation.





She either gets rid of the dog and pays up, moves out or faces eviction.
