Most bad tenants end up with landlords that do not exercise discretionally caution regardless of laws.

@Corine Haener, there are several options you can exercise when structuring the entity that will provide some assurance to the other partners. 

You can require ALL tenants to exercise responsible animal ownership, protect the property, minimize chance of harm to other people, and maintain acceptable noise levels that do not interfere with neighbors' enjoyment of their own property.A well-written animal clause will require the tenant to:Provide proof of current shots, if applicableProvide proof of flea control medication, if applicableDisclose the name and contact information of the veterinarian caring for the animal, if applicable (hamsters, for example, probably do not have veterinarians)Keep dogs in a crate or on a leash at all times when outside the dwellingUse a pooper-scooper, whether on the leased premises or another's propertyVary locations of dog urination, so as not to burn shrubs or lawnEmpty cat litter boxes daily into outside receptaclesControl  excessive barking that disturbs the neighborsAllow monthly inspections for pet damageImmediately clean any pet discharges and immediately report any damageAssist with Twice monthly HVAC filter changes for long-haired animalsKeep pet food supplies in pest-proof containersI think that if you approach the problem in this manner, you will be more comfortable complying with Fair Housing laws.

They will be in a cage but I believe they have to be let out to exercise and hay is needed for the cage I think. 

That drive to get moving is good, but it can get you in trouble if you don't exercise temperance.

Once you start exercising your rights as a landlord and documenting your actions, she'll either take you seriously and start paying up or she'll make plans to move.

After struggling through arduous months of fighting arrogant dirt bag professional tenants it should be pure pleasure to exercise final authority.Winning should be a celebration not simply a relief.

Tenants seem to prefer smaller buildings like a duplex over larger apartment buildings, at least those without added amenities like an exercise center and a pool for example.

Clearly this doesn't fit your budget (nor would it fit mine for a larger building), but seeing as our tenants recently exercised year three of the potential four year lease (with slight rent increase for year three), it was well worth it!

6 days ago I entered in to a contract with a seller, my contract has a inspection contingency and a counteroffer contingency, I am well within my 10 day due diligence period and I have decided to exercise my inspection clause after my partner pointed several concerns a counteroffer was also made and the seller turned it down, I emailed him with a written notice of cancellation, I went to the title company and they basically said that he has to give his  approval to refund my EM, now the guy is dragging his feet and doesn't answer his phone when I call, and the title company says that their attorney has to look over the contract and decided how my EM should be disbursed!
