.- Exercise your right as a landlord to advertise availability of unit the day you receive notice from tenant.

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.

And if they do, we gently guide them back on track.

Bring lots of garbage bags (preferably contractor grade) as most loose stuff / junk probably hasn't been packed and can be "gently" placed in garbage bags and hauled outside.

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.
