Section 8 tenant bought a cat
I have a section 8 tenant in Missouri who is under a term lease that doesn't allow for pets unless I approve. She went ahead and bought a cat. I'm ok with her keeping it as long as she pays a pet deposit or pet rent. How does this work with section 8? Would section 8 have to approve an additional charge like that? TIA!

She can't afford rent, but she can afford a cat. Interesting.
I would hit her with a lease violation and force her to remove the cat or move out of the rental. This is a clear indication that she has no intention of following the rules she originally agreed to.
