Hi guys,

So, my tenant wants to Breed Golden Retrievers.

A little background, my tenant has been in my property for a year now and wants to do another year lease. He has paid on time every month. While he's not the cleanness tenant I've had, I'm sure it's OK to most people standards. Issues I had with him is I had to tell him 4 times to clean up the oil leak / spill from his car on my driveway, and had to write him an official complaint. He's not the greatest as far as communication goes, I feel that he sometimes ignores my calls / text, so I just give him a 24 hour notice to swing by the property. My tenant is a mechanical and of course repairs cars at home, and has a bunch of car parts in the garage. Also stores a boat and trailer on the driveway.

My property is a single story, 1200sqft (3 bed, 2 bath) house in a working class neighborhood, he and his wife with 2 kids (10, 12 years old) and he already has one Golden Retriever that I approved ($300 Pet fee). He is now asking if he could have another one to breed them. The rent for this property is below market, he's paying $1000 a month, where other properties are asking $1050 to $1100 and nearby 3 bedroom apartments are asking $900's. The rental market is a bit slow right now, so I don't want to raise the rent and risk him moving out.

I know that when my tenants leave, I will have to replace the floor the entire house as when I purchase the property, the carpet was already worn, and the paint is plain white, but I

I don't know anything about breeding dogs, but would you allow this tenant to do so? I'm wondering how crowded the house would be, and the smell, but since I'm replacing the floors, it might not matter.
