Don't bring me into your little rant. My investing choices have been very good to us, made us a fair bit of money, and if that means I occasionally get on the mop, so be it. I love renovating, and it puts dollars into our pockets. We've just spent a weekend cleaning up our son's new purchase...

Are you saying there is six months' worth of dog poop from two large dogs in the back yard? It must cover the ground fence to fence :D. This really isn't a big issue (at least not for me). A shovel and an hour would sort it, and I do think it is sweating the small stuff. I seriously am not...

Hardly fair comparing some dog poop in the yard with tenants not cleaning for six months. I would pick up the dog poop myself and get in cleaners for the bathrooms and take it from the bond. Edit: If it was just a half hour bathroom clean I would do it myself. If they were grubs and the whole...

Honestly, how you would want to charge them for picking up the dog poop in the yard, outsource it? Seriously, if they don't pick it up, then you pick it up. How long would take you... ten minutes? If they are moving out today and not paid up, then I suspect not having allowed a dog wouldn't...

I would be trying to hose down the escalation. The tenant might be a pain in the neck, and trouble looming, or could just really want a dog, and know his rights. Either way, knowing what you do now, wouldn't it be better to go back to the tenant, say you would agree to the dog providing he is...

This is a good point, and perhaps it is best to not even mention the reason why you are not renewing the lease, nor make a fuss now about the dog. Keep your powder dry. Perhaps you will find at the inspections that there is no damage, and may decide to allow them and the dog to stay. If that is...

My understanding is that a landlord really has no say if a tenant gets a pet. I've read here on SS that you could take them to tribunal but would be unlikely to win. However, you could decide not to renew their lease. I'm not sure and only have learned this by reading this site. We've always...
