Evict a tenant due to their animal violating conduct clause

Yao Thompson
Posted

If I have a prohibited conduct clause in my lease which states that "the tenant cannot disturb, threaten the comfort, health or rights of others" can I use this as a basis for an eviction if the tenants animal lunged at or attacked someone with the assumption that there is no prior history of the animal behaving in a threatening manner. I know this is more of a legal questions but i'm trying to understand if my logic in understanding a scenario like this is reasonably sound

I think that covers it. There is a standard 'right to peaceful use' clause that will help you too. Is the event in question documented? Witnesses? Photos? Police report?


Yes there were a few reports from neighbors about the animal during the night in question; we are still trying to ascertain if there were any photographical evidence to support though.

 I doubt you'll get anywhere without solid evidence. It'll just be 'he said, she said'
