Try allowing a small pet

And I opted to take a couple tenants w pets in the units w tile so that was another $25/mo pet rent.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I tell her I don’t allow pets on that property.

Our tenant broke out no pet rule for a number of months- we just found out- we are also in the middle escrow with them to purchase the house- any suggestions on what to do?

It's almost impossible to raise rent on an unexpired lease unless you can work out a fee for a pet ...seems like you are in a hurry.

You have to accept a person who has a trained service animal even if you have  a no pet policy and now even an emotional support animal. 

There is a brand new development downtown called South Main that will bring 314 new units online this spring with rents starting at ~$1,400 and amenities that include high-end finishes, a year-round pool, hot tub, community BBQ, covered gazebo, private gym, lounge, pet spa, gear workshop, and co-working space.

It’s also frustrating that she won’t let go of her pets given the circumstances.

Pets under 35 lbs welcome, 6 month lease available upon request, and no smoking on premises.
