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

I'm getting bored of this now, there haven't been any developments in ages. The were-dog should really have mauled the nosy neighbour by now.

Fixed it.

If the OP really was a landlord the OP would have read the information in the link I gave back in post #17 (and G_M posted again in #40 and #42) and have served a Section 8 by now. Instead we have been treated to 30+ pages of poo, Czechoslovakian wolf dog poo no less!

Oh come on people, can't we milk this thread a little bit more?

I'm just waiting for the post that states that the tenants have barricaded themselves into the property.

then they won't last long given the rate at which a wolf dog produces its business and so would cover up the floor - unless of course they opened a window and had a daily rose feeding "event" using the shovel they'd taken inside with them as a memento of no longer being able to access the (shared) garden

No definitive evidence of Vampyres, yet?

When nan went into a home my mum had to rent her house out, we had a young girl turn up with a toddler who said all the right things so we rented to her. Few months down the line the entire house Is filled with immigrants, every room has a bed in it and the property is wrecked along with the pet dog who has eaten half of the kitchen and defecated everywhere ruining the new flooring along with the elderly neighbour complaining of drug use. We did an inspection and of course they were all "friends" of the girl we rented it to who was nowhere to be seen and nobody would admit paying her rent.
On the next inspection one of the bedrooms had been vacated and there was a pile of paperwork swept into the corner that was waiting to go on the bin amongst which was a tenancy agreement between the girl we rented it to and one of her "friends". When questioned she simply denied everything and accused my mum of making up the tenancy agreement (it was a proper legal document with her signature on it) and went on to accuse my mum of giving her carbon monoxide poisoning from a fire that was disconnected already and could clearly provide no medical evidence to prove so.
We waited until the tennancy expired confident that the professional inventory company we employed who had photographed everything would be the proof needed to get some of the money for the repairs back out of her deposit. The estimate for repairs to the damage she had caused came to around £4500 and after filling in umpteen pages for the deposit company to view they decided that we were only entitled to £800! The letter also said their decision was final and could not be questioned or overturned. Its a joke that you can do everything by the book and still get stuffed. Is there any financial recourse to this now? can we go to a small claims court or complain about the deposit company? Thought I would ask as there seem to be many "professional" landlords on this thread. She is an professional working in the city and we don't think the child she arrived with was even hers

no point going to SCs as the judge will just side with the original decision.


You cant sue the deposit scheme

Given, the above (in relation to the original post), I'll take the wolfhound.
