I may do that Bryan if problems continue. Thanks Greg for all of the psychological tips. Puts things into perspective for me.

Good points Greg!

Definitely didn't treat this like a business when we rented out our house. It is only for a few months so I didn't sweat the details. This has been a good learning experience for us. When I talked to the tenant I found out that the neighbor parked a broken down car in my driveway and told the tenant that he talked to me and I said it was ok. I never gave the neighbor permission to park a car on my property. Or even knew anything about it until today. Lots of little babysitting issues with being a landlord it seems.

Just worked it out so the tenant will get rid of the dog. Lots of good advice. Thanks!

Just worked it out. Tenet is going to get rid of the dog. I blamed the insurance company. Thanks for the good advice!

I have this in audio book format. Lots of good info. I wished I read this before I rented my house out to a family member.

Forgot to mention that rent is 1300$ and the tenant owes me 100$ for last month. Is that reason enough to start the eviction process?

How would you guys recommend dealing with a tenant who is a family member and 100$ behind on rent and just brought a dangerous dog breed to live with him on the property? I don't want to ruin the relationship but I think I am being taken advantage of.

Thanks James. I am the landlord and I am finding all of this out.

I recently moved and I am renting my house out to a family member for a few months. We didn't really talk about pets in a lease. Now I am getting calls from people in the neighborhood saying a pit bull is running the street without a collar and he lives at my house. Not sure if he is dangerous or not. Thanks for the info about State Farm. I will look into this further. Is there any way I could get sued if his dog bites someone?
