When does their lease come up for renewal?

I would address it right away and start charging the 50.

If they are super apologetic and give you no problems then I might consider letting them renew when the time comes. But at this point I’m leaning toward non renewal.

I had almost the exact same situation. Tenant with approved dog has 2 cats a couple months after moving in. Turns out they were his mothers who could no longer care for them. I was pissed about it and have been charging them for it. But that was 3+ years ago and that has been my only complaint about them.

That choice will always exist in the boonies. Preserving low density in greater metro areas (suburbs) has been a mistake on so many levels.

@Dan Heuschele

“Higher density changes the feeling…..”

This is the Karen argument.

Being able to zone away people not like one self is not a constitutional right.

@Dan Heuschele

Yes I do agree with you that a lot of people agree with you. It has been that way for a long time.

But to me residential is residential. Splitting a single into a duplex has no real effect on the neighbors. It’s a minimally invasive way to add housing supply, taken on only by those who elect to for themselves.

@Whit B.

Trump solely? Nah. It happened during ww2 first.

@Bill Brandt

Yes I see that as an opportunity.

People who think they have a right to live in a whole community of single family zoning are Karens, I’m sorry 😂

@Laura Guy

You are right but this is nothing new. There was a lot of this during/after ww2. This article explores this, especially how local government continues to take even after the federal backs off.

The cycle generally goes like this:

1. National emergency

2. Government action

3. Time passes, emergency ends, overreaching policies (mostly) struck down

4. Normalcy, people forget, then get surprised when it happens again.

@Keegan Jones

Laundry hookup conversion

@Joe S.

Why would I do that?

I just use referrals from people I trust.

@Zachary Jensen

Divisor of labor is my best advice.

One of you should handle the management, not both.
