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

    To achieve what exactly?

    To achieve peace of mind if nothing else. My imagination is already running riot with all the possibilities so it can hardly be worse.

    Also on the small chance of finding evidence of something illegal going on..... I suppose! Not what you want going on in your property but would be very convenient!

    oh my god... this has gone from the tenants potentially having a dog and you being allergic, to you thinking they're doing something illegal? because they deigned to POTENTIALLY have a pet????

    Lets say there is something illegal - how does that help you? You still cant evict them....

    Perhaps the landlord/lady is friends with the neighbours and would like it to stay that way - without the hassle of trying to "fall over backwards" to apologise/try and deal with barking dogs or crying babies?

    I do think one should have the right to bar potential nuisance animals like dogs and babies and for that contract to stand up in a court, if the tenant willingly agrees to it and signs it. This is hardly 'gay cake' territory, by all means force the cake maker to write whatever amorous message you like on your cake in the name of equality but don't say you have the right to force him to sit next to your crying baby and howling wolfdog while he does it!

    No, this was put in my mind by individuals on here making suggestions about money laundering and drugs because of the tenants' high disposable income/some apparent fibs about employment, which I do not entirely believe is likely but has added to my worries. Also because I don't know if they have a connection to my very suspicious agent which is possible. I KNOW that they have a dog because the woman has admitted it to me, she just claims that it isn't legally their dog and that it is not there when I have directly conflicting evidence that it is. If they are so well protected by law I don't know why she just didn't tell me the truth, dishonesty does not bode well!

    Off topic but prostitution as in the selling of sexual services for money is not in illegal. It's the associated aspects such as soliciting in a personal c place which breaks the law.
    Would you need to get a permit from the council to run a brothel from home though? Would it affect your council tax banding, and would you need to pay for a trade waste service to remove....used delicates?

    Let's say they were running a brothel in there (I am deliberately exaggerating to make a point), it would be raided and shut down and the guilty parties prosecuted and taken into custody.

    you can reclaim some tax for any costs of washing a uniform... so i assume you could claim a rebate!
