Tenant with waterbed by Mary Anne (FL) on September 18, 2014 @13:19

I've already accepted a tenant who moved in on the 15th. When I went over there yesterday to give her a copy of the lease we both signed, she had a water hose going from the outside to inside the house. When she saw my confused look, she explained she was filling up her waterbed. I'm not fond of waterbeds but didn't exclude them in my lease. Is this something I can reject now?

Nope...you are stuck with the water bed. You should have addressed the waterbeds and fish tanks in the lease.

yes, only after the house is completely destroyed by water. you will also need to pay the tenant's hotel stay next.
