back yard problem UPDATE and more problems!HELP by Mary (nv) on November 25, 2016 @16:03

Landscaper said that they have more than 3 dogs in the house, three dogs is what the lease agreement state.
I called the animal control and they will checked but as they said they only can check If the tenant will cooperate.
The good part if they prove that he has more than three they can send him a citation.
***If he has more than three can I evict him for that?
now the main problem is beside the landscaper found 7 sprinklers broken, he found out the faucet for the house it is leaking bad so bad that the wall it is all wet and the ground is semi fladed. And this is a very serious problem that he neglected to ask repair .
****So how I handle this? Because I consider that all the damage that the faucet course should be paid by him.

Mary, why on earth did you allow 3 dogs on your property from the beginning? Now I don't feel sorry for you any more. I allow only 1 SMALL pet in any of my rentals. You were asking for problems from day 1, if your lease said they could have 3 dogs. You want help from this forum, and we on the forum have responded to you. BUT----- have you actually DONE anything yet, other than send people over to LOOK at things? Have you repaired ANYTHING yet ? Have you sent the tenant ANY letters yet. You need to actually DO something, besides writing to this forum for help. A LL has every right to repair things on their property at any time, no matter WHO caused the damages. If you want to go over there every week to pick up all the dog poop in the yard, you can do that. Who ends up paying for it, usually will need to be fought out in court. Until you get him out, the damage being done by him or his dogs will continue. If you send him a 60 day notice NOW, for him to be out by the end of Jan. when his lease is up, he could still hold over past that date , and you would still have to take him to court to get him out. But you stand a LOT greater chance of winning in court from him being a holdover tenant, than for any other type of lease violation. My suggestion at this point-----call several attorneys on Monday, til you find one that is well-versed in LL/T law, and follow his/her advice.
