QUESTION:
- "Has any Mobile Home Park Owner ever had an Occupant (a “Girlfriend” of your actual Tenant) use the ‘Emotional Support Dog’ to keep their Dog (which violates your specific “Dog Rules”)?
The “Girlfriend” of Tenant #3 (Listed below):
-
The “Girlfriend” does NOT have a Month-To-Month Lease with us
-
The “Girlfriend” has NEVER filled out an Application with us
-
The “Girlfriend” has NEVER paid us
-
Are we required to honor the girlfriend’s “Emotional Support Dog”?
-
If no, should we evict both of the Male Tenants or just the Male Tenant with the girlfriend with the “Emotional Support Dog”?
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
At the beginning of November 2015 we changed our “Dog Policy” to the following:
- Maximum Weight: Under 30 Pounds @ Maturity
We have had 3 Tenants respond in the following way:
-
TENANT #1: At the beginning of January Tenant #1 texted that his “Legal Representative” wanted his “Payment History” (they are evicted on a monthly basis) for the last 6 months and a letter from our insurance company stating this new policy. Kurt Kelley ( @KurtKelley ) kindly helped us with the letter. A “Big Thank You” to Kurt Kelley ( @KurtKelley ).
-
TENANT #2: Earlier this month Tenant #2 stated that they had given their Dog to someone outside the MHP. Amazingly, the Dog reappeared on Tuesday of this week. We have sent them a 30 Day Non-Renew Of Their Month-To-Month Lease with NO reason for the Non-Renewal.
-
TENANT #3: We own a Mobile Home that we have rented to 2 single males with Month-To-Month Lease. The one male Tenant has sent in his Notarized Statement that he does not have a dog. The other male Tenant sent in documentation from a Psychiatrist that his girlfriend needs an “Emotional Support Dog”. The girlfriend does not have a Lease with us; the girlfriend has never filled out an Application with us and the girlfriend has never paid us.
Thanks in advance!!!
