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

that's upto you. But mocking aside you've had some excellent advice here - if only you'd listened when this started

Apologies for mocking you about the cat, saying that you now know
1) It is not worth trying to evict them
2) You have problems with your deposit and agents

Not the news you want, but better than not knowing.

It is a serious issue though, I mean, being a landlord must be a stressful thing.
I said before, I could never do it.

I honestly think if it's causing you this much misery, once the tenancy is up you should think about selling.
They might be decent tenants and once they receive notice at the appropriate time, they could surprise you and move on.
If I was given notice on the property I'm currently renting, I wouldn't want to stay here any longer than necessary. I'd stay until the end of my tenancy but I'd do my best to get out in time. I can't say I'd make myself homeless, but I wouldn't stay here and not bother trying to find somewhere else either.

Not all tenants are bad, regardless of whether or not they've got pets. I think you should give them a chance, it would be highly beneficial for your peace of mind if you could do a personal inspection on the property. Even if that means travelling to do so,

Are there vampires though?

What worries me is not so much what animal is living in the flat, but rather what creatures are living in the 18thC mattress.:eek:

You are not taking this thread seriously enough.


It was full moon on Sunday, so has anyone checked that the friendly neighbour/spy hasn't given her life in the course of duty ?

Fail on health and safety grounds, as it's not fire proof, so especially dangerous if there are dragons about.

I believe that antique furniture/furnishings made before 1950 are exempt.
I rather suspect that the fire resistance of the mattress be the least of its problems!
A dragon might find it cosy, though, or a princess with an aversion to peas.

Thank you for your serious response, I am not pursuing the issue of the dog at the moment (DESPITE the neighbour e-mailing me more photos of the bloody thing!) because the status and whereabouts of my agent is now causing me a lot of stress. An inspection would probably be a good idea but might give me an angina if there is damage. Perhaps I am allowed to appoint someone else to do the inspection on my behalf?
