Legal FAQ's
Landlord/Tenant 

Q:I manage a residential property for a landlord. The landlord entered into a written lease with a tenant, which prohibits the tenant from having pets in the dwelling. Recently, the landlord informed me that the tenant has a dog and cat and the landlord wants to terminate the lease. May he do so?
