Can I terminate my tenant's tenancy early for having an unauthorised pet?

    Also be aware that if you continue to spy on them (whether by neighbours or yourself) you are potentially breeching their right to quiet enjoyment of the property.

    It's hardly spying on them to be visiting your old friends, ie the neighbours, at intervals (as one does with friends). Followed by supporting your friends in any complaints about the howling the dog makes.:)

    It's called "being supportive to a friend".

    It's hardly harassment to stand outside on the street, or send some texts..... oh wait....

    Oh, I missed the stuff about getting in trouble with The Law. Makes me think of Judge Dredd. :D

    So they deny having a dog but the neighbours have heard wolf-like howling...well it's obvious isn't it? The tenants are werewolves.

    No.That's why the LL has to serve a 2 month S21 Notice and then go to court.

    Are you (trying to) managing this tenancy yourself or do you have an agent? If the latter, how did you choose your agent?

    I don't understand why anyone would rent at all on these forever contracts, it is bizarre and the agent didn't say anything about it at all. I didn't think I had to be an expert since I was going through a professional and trusted them. They found the tenant and did the referencing.

    You know what's bizarre - someone running a business with no knowledge of what's involved. Sell up and move on.

    Why would the agent say anything about it? It would be like going to an estate agent to sell your house and him saying "Now, you do understand you'll have to move out after it's sold, yes?"

    It's basic - you're expected to know these things if you are looking to rent. There's not any other sort of contract.

    Well - you certainly tell the agent exactly what this tenant is like (ie just in case they are one of the more responsible ones and the tenant has lied to them as well).
