Lease specifically states no pets. Tenant decided to get dog without checking lease. Tenant states they will pay security deposit. This is a duplex. Other tenant has no pets clause also. How do I notify the tenant that dog must go. Or if I accept dog and ask for security deposit, plus additional monthy charge? Any Opinions

RE: dogs

Diane, You may use this doc when Tenants have brought an unauthorized animal into the rental property. https://www.ezlandlordforms.com/documents/67/unauthorized_pet_lease_violation/ If you did want to revise the lease you may use this amendment: https://www.ezlandlordforms.com/documents/67816/lease_amendment/

RE: dogs

If it was me, I would send them a Notice to correct the Breach of Contract or move. I would declare this Tenant as trouble. They already showed you that the lease means nothing to them. What's next, another person moving in, another pet, etc.
