Pays Rent!...... but loves cats.....
My tenant has been with us for a year and a half. Rent is about 15% over market with a rent increase 6 months ago and they haven't missed!
HOWEVER ...... when I sent a contractor over for a few minor violations (smoke detectors), electrical lights out.....
The contractor reports to me that there's cats everywhere, the place SMELLS like ammonia..... he even refused the job because he got a terrible allergic reaction and the place smelled too bad.....
Other than annoying instances of having to wait for him to get us cheks a couple days late, he hasn't been a problem.....
But I fear the place will have a permenant smell, and who knows what other pet damage there is.....
Should I threaten eviction? charge pet deposit (pets not reported)???
