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

[Deleted User]

What and admit to being a liar with no idea of boundaries whilst accusing the tenant of lying and having a wolf in the house, and if its found to be true, trying to tell the tenant its get rid of the dog or we'll try (and probably fail) to evict you? Whilst also slathering on about a 17th century bed, ancient family estate etc.

I hope she takes a cream pie. At least they are meant to be worn. Otherwise I don't think cake will help. How is the OP (if they go) going to explain how they've got their information without making it seem like they are a spymaster general? Or very foolish?

I suspect that the OP will find the tenants are out. They aren't going to want to have a confrontation with the OP.

Could the tenants who stayed at home whilst having the temerity to claim that they were on holiday not have been having the (awfully named) staycation?

Maybe they had plans for each day?

Maybe they were going to eye the neighbour up nervously and then ask her over for a 'coffee'? After all, all signs suggest that the neighbour is interested in them...

Whose putting money on the OP finding said wolf dog and then the tenants saying 'its a fair cop governor' and leaving without a fight?

If they OP keeps harassing them, they might just do a runner.

and, adhering to GM's philosophy of resolving issues via food and drink, perhaps the sister can take a little something round to make up for her earlier transgression?

May I suggest eye of newt and toe of frog.

They won't know it's the landlord, the OP will pretend to be her sister to continue this whole charade!

Additionally after some kind of charade with the mobile phone my sister asked if she could use the toilet, but the girl was obviously unwilling and said that it was currently out of order, no problem with the toilets have been reported so I think she was obviously trying to keep her out of the house because of the animal and/or something else. My sister made a joking comment about it sounding like an elephant inside but the tenant just laughed.

I'm afraid that if a perfect stranger came to my door, was asking weird questions and then was trying to get into my house using the excuse of needing the loo, I would be trying to keep them out too!

Anyone else really excited to see where this saga ends up today, or just me? First thing I checked when I visited work ... didn't even bother checking my own thread ��

Not forgetting that the contract the tenants agreed to has a no pets clause - but most people think the tenants can do what they please about breaking that and the landlord has no legal right to give them their marching orders for breaking said contract.

As long as the tennant returns the property at the end of the tenancy in the same condition as at the start of the tenancy and pay their rent, they can "Do what they please"...
