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

I don't think you can evict them for having a pet even if it says "no pets" in the tenancy agreement.
I think to would be classed as "unreasonable" if it went to Court.

What about a no-smoking clause?
I don't know - 20 years ago smoking was common and you could smoke in public places. To that extent smoking was "reasonable" now that you cannot smoke in many places it might be different. If you can still smoke at home and the property is your home you may be able to claim a non smoking clause to be unreasonable. I am not a smoker so it would not matter to me.0 -

Half of it has already been sold off so this would not work even if we wanted people stomping around the place.0 -

My solicitor has told me off for putting too much personal information on the internet, however I can confirm that I now have incontrovertible proof that there is not only a dog but a dangerous dog living on the premises and we are trying to figure out a way to use this proof to get the tenants out ASAP given that they do not know anything about the other difficulties I am facing with the agent.0 -
Does your solicitor have good experience with tenancy law or is he just your family solicitor with expertise in other areas? I know from experience (costly experience) that sometimes solicitors will tell you you can win in court, but in reality you don't have a chance. I was told after coming out of court (seconds later) by a barrister our case didn't have a chance. But this was the first time I'd been told this in months of preparation. If I had been told this initially, there is no way we'd have risked wasting our time and money. I was told quite the opposite, until the moment the case was over.
The problem is you don't really know if a Judge would accept breaking the 'no pets' clause in your TA should lead to eviction as has already been explained. I'm not sure that your tenants have a banned dog.., even if they did, it would be more usual to force custody and euthenasia of the dog.., not necessarily eviction.
I am afraid I still think you are on shaky ground for the outcome you want.0 -
Cannot believe this thread has now reached post #555 and is still going on!

No but with a dangerous dog, I would suggest the start of a zoo rather than a petting farm.Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed.
If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'
