Not picking up after dog

[Amy Lee]

I have a difficult tenant in a sense that this person's dad is a nEW yOrK CiTy REal eStaTE aGEnT. He has said that he wants to be present for my city point of sale inspection (which is none of his business), declined to show the unit which to this day I've only seen it once during my inspection. There is nothing in the lease about the landord coming in or showing the unit with x amount of notice and so that's what he's been standing on.

They have a "service" dog which poops all over the front and back yard and they dont pick up. There is nothing in the lease about picking up after your dog, just your common sense.

Any ideas on how to approach this? Should i tell them to pick it all up prior to leave otherwise theres gonna be a charge to clean up? (Charge for dog poop also not stated on lease but other cleaning items are). It is December and so I cant rule out snow will cover it up. Sigh.
