The son is moving to a new city and my tenant simply asked if she could keep the son's dog for a few months while son was getting settled.If it were a small dog, we were inclined to accommodate her because she is a good tenant and will likely buy the house at some point - she has great credit and just needs to show enough self-employment income this year to qualify (IOW, take fewer business expenses and legal deductions).The picture is from the application.

Dustin Faeth Tenant Moved Out Leaving Other 2 Roommates Stuck with the Lease and Rent...What Action Can I Take as Landlord???

HOWEVER, they have still not found someone to sublease and if they don't have someone by Feb. 1 I am afraid they aren't going to be able to cover the full rent of $1200 and they have already threatened to just move out too if they can't find someone and can't afford the $1200.I have never run into this issue before and it seems completely messed up to me that they think they can just walk away from a legally biding agreement that we all signed as a 12 month lease for $1200 per month.
