No! I don't think that is going to be a problem. I suppose, it depends on how you paint the picture and how well the mother takes care of the baby. Of course, I am hoping that someone does not have to share the same room with the baby. People have to love babies enough so they are not bothered. I get emotionally upset when I fly on an airplane when a baby cries and people complain. The poor baby probably has some medical problem i.e. infected and plugged ears. Throw the complainers off the plane!
Like I said in the last post. I will bet the mother leaves in a short time, anyway. Then, if you do nothing you won't have to make a decisions and be 'The Bad One'. Let nature take it's course. I think you are a much better landlord for asking and understanding. For being a nice and understanding person, your Karma will reward you.
Hey Jack, Part of my last reply to your comment was lost at the bottom of your comment. As someone that has dealt with a similar situation I appreciate your input. My general approach to dealing with tenants is to think as logically as possible but consult compassion prior to making any decision.
I think and hope that the tenant will be a good mother. To give a bit more in site to the situation...the tenant in a student who has a husband that lives abroad. Her income comes from her teaching job at the school she also studies at plus from her husband. She would have been about 7 months pregnant when she signed the lease. The lease was recently signed so this tenant intends on raising her child in the student house (all common spaces are shared with 5 other tenants). Also, I expect that her husband will also be visiting regularly from abroad to see his new child.
Again, my intention is not to evict her but I think it is prudent to consider the possibility that the house (which is only operational if the rooms are rented) suddenly is not appealing to other students and prepare for this outcome if it were to happen.
