Tenant lied and has a dog on first month of lease -Texas

Ask for its breed, weight, and name, and have them attach a picture.- Make the application part of the lease, with the stipulation that if they've lied in the application or in the lease, they can be evicted.- Tell them they have to provide documentation of the animals service / emotional support (as allowed by your local ordinances), and that they have to provide documentation that the animal is current with its inoculations, etc. as well as its local license before you'll permit the animal in the unit.- Tell them they'll have to provide you with a copy of their renter's insurance naming you as additional named insured, with a minimum of (I use $300,000) liability insurance, also before they move into the unit.It's not perfect, but it's a start toward a tenant transparency.
