Small Claims is inexpensive and usually easy to win if you have evidence to back up your claim.

@Katharina Modelska 8m hoping that you have written evidence that she stated it was her aunts dog?

So, you'll have photo evidence of the inside of the tank (never pretty) and of the leach field.Definitely find an inspection company that only does inspections. 

This became evident after hurricane relief, increased migration, movie industry crews and vacationers.

I met with the occupants once and could tell they had no evidence to keep me from evicting them.There was also a foreclosure against them from their mortgage company and an attempt to Quiet the Title.

If you use the search bar and ask the question in your title, you will probably find hundreds of discussions.My suggestion is that you should only raise the rent on an existing tenant if you have evidence they are excellent renters, they can afford the increase, and the increase is no more than 15%. 

Any rent increase should be backed up by comparable leasing activity in the area and the tenant should be shown the evidence that they will still be paying a very fair rental rate.

If so, pass the fine on to them.If there's evidence they didn't receive the warning, then you may want to ensure they get a written copy of the rules/violation notice and either eat the cost or split the cost with them.

Build your case, collect evidence and be careful if and when you work there.
