No brain-teaser, you issue notice of intent to terminate the lease due to noncompliance. If you aren't willing to do that for "X" item, "X" shouldn't be in your lease. No "well they pay on time for the past 3 years", no "but they haven't called me even once with a complaint and are paying above market". If you have something in your lease, you should enforce it. Otherwise you need to reflect on if it really needs to be in your lease and if so, you need to hire someone to ensure enforcement if you aren't willing to do so yourself.

The brainteaser question is what happens if the landlord legitimately enters the premises because of a maintenance emergency (or otherwise valid reason) and happens to notice something that violates the lease?

 Apparently you think single white males are exempt from discrimination. Landlords cannot discriminate based on race, color, sex, or familial status, regardless of what that race, color, sex, or familial status is. Refusing to rent to a single white male is just as egregious a violation as refusing to rent to a black woman with 2 kids, IF race, color, sex, or familial status is the reason for the refusal.  You have made up a silly comparison to try to bolster your opinion about so called service animals, but it only makes you look ridiculous.

@Ihe O. Of course you cant discriminate because of race . 

 I never said search. I said enter. 

 Correct.  And you also need to give notice before entering a tenant's apartment which gives them ample time to hide their guns.

But just because police need probable cause and a search warrant doesn't mean they aren't looking for crime in public areas where they are patrolling on a daily basis.

 Actually, the police are ALWAYS looking for crime. It’s their job to do so. They don’t just sit around at the station and wait for a call. They are out patrolling, being proactive against crime. 

I dont get what you are saying here .

But in any case    All pets will be  emotional support animals once the papers arrive .  If someone applies with a pet with out papers , It is a pet . I would deny at that moment , and be fine .  if they reapply that would be different . 

If he said it WILL be a service dog , then deny him now . Its not a service or ESA  animal at this time . 

The marijuana argument doesn’t really hold any weight. Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level while owning a firearm is legal at the federal level (for most people). If you have a loan on your rental property it’s most likely with a federally regulated bank that must follow federal laws. If they found out you were renting a property that they provided a loan for, for something illegal at the federal level, there could be some issues!
