Does she have legit paperwork for the emotional support dog? What kind is it?

Even if you raise the rent close to market, is that still incentive enough for them to move? Moving isnt ever fun. Can they find something as nice or nicer for the same price or less?

Finally listed as sold on 8/31.

Still shows as pending. Didnt want to get too nosey, but I checked the tax rolls, and ownership hasnt changed yet. Would love an update here; after following along for so long, and watch the amazing transformation, we need a final chapter here!

If they cant pay on time now, they wont be able to pay on time if you raise the rent. Why not just give them 30 or 60 days notice, whatever your state requires, and just get new tenants?

I just read that myself. As long as you are renting it yourself, and its a single family home, I believe you can reject any animals.

FAQ #7 – When can a landlord legally reject an ESA?

There are some conditions when a landlord can reject your ESA. Emotional support animal protection is meant to protect a person with an emotional or mental disability, the law is not made to punish the landlord. This is why there are particular situations where a landlord can reject an ESA.

  1. First – if the animal is too large for the accommodation size. For example, a horse or a llama may be rejected from a small studio apartment.
  2. Second – if the building has 4 units or less and the landlord lives in one of the buildings.
  3. Third – it is a single-family house that was rented without a realtor.

Surely this isnt still pending, as it is showing on Zillow.

Would love to hear an update on this. It is still showing as pending, I cant imagine its taken this long to close. Update please!

Seems Ive read more stories about the problems with 2 year leases than the advantages. What if she ends up with a crappy boyfriend moving in, or loses her job? With a 2 year lease, you are stuck with her no matter what.

Id go with the devil you know vs. the devil you dont know. Or have the 2 year lease person sign a one year lease. They can always sign a new one when times up.

Have you closed yet?
