Tenant moved in adult daughter

[B R]

In July 2013, during our seasonal maintenance walk-thru, we noted an adult female and an additional dog in our SFH rental. Tenant stated this was his daughter and her dog who were visiting. I have been back twice to place 3-day notices on the door for non-payment of rent (which he paid both times), and both times heard two dogs barking.

I've been reading thru our various landlording books and this site, but this specific situation has not been addressed that I could find.

Should I send a violation of lease notice (we do have the 14 day limit on guests in our lease), set up a meeting and have her fill out an application if she IS living there, evict since he's also habitually late with rent?

Thoughts, dear colleagues?

Not sure if I agree with the $500 and $100 (Seems a little high) unless you want to get rid of them.

A pet can cause a LOT of damage......

They pay it, in fact the last one left the SFH in great shape except I now have a cat door in the basement door!!! The new ones just paid the deposit no problem.

She did her PhD in reptiles so now I also have about 10 huge aquariums to dump.
