Tenant not paying full rent

[Maureen Dawson]

I have a tenant who has violated her rental agreement when she moved her 18 year old daughter in without prior consent and added a second pet she is hiding from me when I declined to allow an additional pet. Will I face legal issues over terminating her contract during this COVID siruation?
