Signed Pet Rent Lease...now registered as emotional support...?
Hello everyone,
I have tenants who moved into a property back in November 2020 and signed a lease through April 2022. They had two pets and they have signed as part of the lease a section discussing an additional $75/mo in pet rent as well as signed an additional pet addendum.
I received notice this evening that they have gotten their pets registered as emotional support animals now.
Do I need to immediately cease the monthly pet rent charge although we have a signed pet rent agreement in place before they became emotional support animals? Since we're changing the lease now, should I inform them we'll need to sign a new lease or amendment that removes the pet rent? If I sign a new lease, can I (should I?) up the house rent to compensate for the lack of pet rent?
I'm certain this is just a ploy to save $75/mo. Which I understand. Want to proceed fairly and most importantly proper in terms of the law.
Looking for your advice.
Thanks!
