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

  • 1. There are remedies to unwanted pregnancies or have the last 40 odd years of abortion/adoption/etc not happened apparently.

    2. They knew what the contract said - so if they decided subsequently to break it = onus on them to deal with that (ie find somewhere else to live).

    Oh, I see, you want the LL/agent to ignore equality/human rights legislation. Don't you think he's in enough trouble?

    I can just imagine money as a landlord with a "no children" clause in the TA popping round with a wire coathanger and knitting needle if she found out the tenant was pregnant.
  • My sister who lives a couple of miles away has very kindly agreed to do an inspection if the tenants will ALLOW her into the property. I am going to call them today.

    You surpass yourself yet again. People having abortions to avoid breaching their tenancy agreement.

    Are you trying to make a fool of yourself? Honestly, is that it?

    Honestly, I don't know what you hope to achieve by this. You have far greater problems. What do you propose to do based on the results of your inspection?

    I just can't believe that is true. What if it were a whole zoo? What if it were a brothel?? What if they were assembling nuclear bombs or sacrificing children at the altar??? There must be a line somewhere!
    Yes there is, where the law is involved. Keeping a dog isn't illegal....

    Why?

    The agent (or supposed agent in this case) asks them at the outset if they have any children or are pregnant. Simples....
    Equality act - read it...

    That's not likely to happen for many reasons, but as you clearly have no knowledge on this subject matter, it's simpler to say - no, that's not possible.




    No, wear and tear would be covered. Dogs mess from a dog that should not be there would not be. Assuming the dog has hair and can not float or has accidents.


    Are you suggesting it would also be ok to smoke if the agreement said you can not with no redress. Sounds like your knowledge and common sense are missing.


    That's what I would do and then they can look into the possibility of it not happening......but thanks.

    prostitution and murder are illegal. keeping a pet is not.

    when their tenancy is up, please do NOT do this again. you are far too attached to your ancestral home and have zero idea what you're doing, what rights you and the tenant have, or even how to market this with a reputable agent. given you have stated you've never needed to work, you wouldn't need the money to cover a mortgage or anything so if you're going away just leave it empty and get the nosy neighbour to check it.
