When someone has two animals, you can tell them you only allow one.

They also have animals that I really wouldn’t want on my property.

thanks again for weighing inUmesh Send me an IM and I'll provide it 

Thank you for the post, it should clear things up and help people that ask about this, seems it comes up a lot....People should take note of the extreme difference between SERVICE ANIMALS (legitimate and needed) and ESAs (woke scams).....

And this idea came to me just this morning, that I can use some of this newly found time to volunteer, perhaps at a local animal shelter, since nothing makes me happier than working with dogs! 

Given what I know it needs without even seeing it, though (new roof, fascia repairs, animal control, new boilers, lead and asbestos remediation, oil tank removal--and that's without knowing anything about it structurally or cosmetically on the inside), I'm guessing I would have to put in roughly $100k in rehab.

Maintenance of of the property (including landscaping), proper termination of lease, adding/removing tenants or animals, dealing with damages and deposits, and more. 

Reinforce changes to the property aren't allowed and state it in your lease (no painting, wall building, wall moving, etc), talk about specific lease restrictions (e.g. no pools and trampolines, limits to guests, animals) on lease signing. 

Pay particular attention to Page 12 where it explicitly defines what type of animals are allowed.

On February 1st, 60 days prior to the money running out, give her written notice of lease violations for smoking, unauthorized animal, unauthorized occupants, and whatever else.
