Here's the link i just posted about, but now the tenant gave me a vaccination for her dog 5 years ago and edited the page to make it look like it was for the cat.
This is honestly the latest in a long string of issues from this tenant. The lease is not up until April of 2020, but i don't think i'd like to continue this tenant at this point.
Rent is habitually late (which the income earner had a heart attack and multiple heart surgeries so i have been working with them)
They moved someone in and lied saying he was under 18, dragged their feet filling out an application and i provided them a 10 day cure or quit to have him move out.
And now this most recent lie.
I could give them a 3 day pay or quit to end the lease since they are now late on the rent and are planning to pay on the 12th.
Any other suggestions on what I should do at this point?

I could go the eviction route with the 3 day pay or quit. I think that'd be much cleaner than for the false vaccination records. But this is also my neighbor as i'm house hacking the duplex. So my thought was to do a cash for keys scenario where I go over, explain they can either be evicted and lose their deposit or they can move willingly before august 1st and leave the place in good condition.
Besides the concerns of them damaging their property, i also worry they may retaliate against my property. And not to mention that i'd MUCH rather try to re rent it in August instead of waiting for an eviction to finalize in sept/oct+
But if anyone has any suggestions at this point, i am all ears. (or eyes i guess...)
