Pet violation: what would you do?

[Edita D.]

Hello,

our property managers advised us of a violation of a lease at our property that was signed in May 2013. The lease allowed 2 small dogs, however the inspector noticed 5 small dogs (chihuahuas) when he arrived for his annual inspection. Our property manager advised us the tenant will add another 900$ pet deposit to an existing one. Based on your experience of tenants violating leases, does this sound like something we, owners, should let go?

Thank you!
