Suspect tenants hiding pet....What would you do?

Scott Kuhnert
Posted

I had a friend perform a walkthrough of my SFH rental today. Everything looked fantastic, but we noticed a stocking for a dog hanging up in one of the pictures he sent.

They did ask if they could have one before moving in and I said no.

I'm not sure whether (or how) to broach the subject since I really don't have proof. And they have been excellent tenants so far. I live out of state, so I can't do any drive bys.

What would you do?

@Scott Kuhnert

Without proof there no point in bringing it up. It took me a year or 2 to figure it out not allowing pets will eliminate a large pool of tenants and the reality kids can cause more damage than dogs and cats as always it depends on how they are raised / trained. I would ban kids before pets but that’s not allowed :)
