Inheriting a property with aggressive dogs??

[Aaron Francl]

Hi all! I'm rounding the bases on what would be my first purchase; a 4-plex property. Today we had the inspection and all looked fine until we entered one unit where we were warned the tenant had dogs - and boy do they. Two large, aggressive Rottweiler's barking loudly enough to shake the walls. 

The dogs have already begun to do a number on the natural wood floors that the owner just had redone so I can only imagine what this will look like a year from now. This tenant has only been in the unit a week and just signed a year lease. A major inherited problem that I can't imagine someone would knowingly sign up for after rehabbing and trying to sell.

I am going to be interviewing PM's and this will be an answer I'll ultimately get from them but wanted to ask the community here in San Antonio to see if anyone had ideas.

We will address with the seller and hopefully this is resolved via the tenant's current lease but was curious if this was something anyone had experienced prior and what steps I can take as the potential purchaser of this property and barking headaches.

Thanks!
