Fix or quit vs Put up with them for 5 more months

[Caroline Notman]

My tenants are on a 2 year fixed lease which ends in mid Feb 2025.  They have been a pain in my 'side' and are so rude and entitled its beyond words.  They are currently in breach of their lease. 

1. 2 unpermitted dogs 

2. turned off my external security cameras. 

3. owe me 3 late payments of $900 total, although rent is current.

They recently apologized for being so rude to me and asked me if I would consider extending their lease for another 3 years.  I said I would 'consider' it if we are able to address the existing lease violations.  I offered to add the 2 dogs to the existing lease for a refundable deposit of one months rent.  I asked that they pay the late fees and turn the security cameras back on.  They said NO - it's no fair of us to ask for a deposit for the dogs.  They won't pay the late fees or turn on the cameras.  Priceless!!  I did point out that they are asking me to enter into a further 3-year contract with them when they are already breaking the terms of the existing contract, but they are so entitled and oblivious that the reality escapes them. 

I only have 5 more months to put up with them, but I am so very tempted to issue a fix or quit and get them out sooner.  Under the terms of my lease it states that if I evict them they are still liable to pay the rent for the remainder of the term.

Lessee shall continue paying rent and all other charges for the Premises to the end of the term of this lease,
whether or not the Premises becomes vacant by reason of abandonment, breach of the lease by Lessee,
wrongful termination by Lessee or if the Lessee has been evicted for breach of this lease, to the extent said
obligation for rent has not been mitigated, abated or discharged, in whole or in part, by any law or
ordinance.

My question to you landlords who have previously been through a fix or quite is "What would you do and why?"

Any advice for all you experienced landlords is very much appreciated.
