We had a 6 month lease with our tenants. It ran out. We never made up a new one. During this time they asked if they could get a cat. We said the usual...as long as we dont smell anything etc. We agreed to another cat and a dog with the same stipulations. Now we are going back to a written rental agreement, with their consent, but we would like to have no pets due to the odor that eminates from their apt. We also live in the same house in the downstairs apt. Also, their dog continually barks. Can we specify no pets in the new lease as long as we give them ample time to find a new home for them.?

Well as an devoted animal lover I would say don't kick them out, HOWEVER! If there is an odor and the dog barking all the time, I think they are not responsible pet owners and yes you can draw up a new lease and give them 30 days to sign it without the pets, (which I doubt will happen), or move. Remind them that you said in your verbal agreement as long as you didn't smell them, which you do and the dog is barking all the time. OR if you want to continued with the same renters and can take the odor and barking, you can always raise the rent for your inconvenience or ask for more of a deposit? for the possible clean up you'll have when they move out. You would never know I have 2 cats. Good luck.

You can't do that, unless the tenants are gone for sure, and have no intention of returning for the pets. Or unless the tenants are dead. You can speficy no pets, but you wont get as many interested people. Besides, not all people who have pets, have dogs. But if barking is your concern, you can specify no dogs, and allow other kinds of pets. Or you can require that the dogs be house broken and quiet, unless there's an intruder.
