That's just you throwing your weight around.
And I wholeheartedly reserve the right to do just that when someone lies through their teeth to try and trick me. 😉

Just sort out the [b]actual issue[/b] like an adult, and move on.
No need to be a bellend about it.
ts funny [ tragedy obviously] reading folk objecting to their modus operandi.
That's a strawman 😉
Wow a couple of angry insultive pre-teens on here.
Peter O'Toole.
After sleeping on it, I'm going to insist on payment for deep clean up front, and say she has 28 days to rehouse the 2 extra dogs, and if she doesn't, I'll reserve the right to take further action on the basis of breach of contract.
You have no legal powers to do any of this, and if you do it anyway, you'll find yourself with a criminal record.

I think that's about enough with the personal insults now. Play nicely, or don't play.

To be fair Shibboleth, I can empathise with your initial post, but your subsequent posts just seem increasingly arsey. Are you responding to 'advice' from other posters, or are you just trying to prove your superiority? And accusing Ernie of being an 'underachiever' simply adds to your forum persona.
Also, regarding your repeated assertions that this woman is ugly, just how much of a hottie are you? Pictures or it didn't happen, and form an orderly queue chaps and chappeses.
I think the Dead Kennedys said it best
Is the OP related to this charmer?

WTF?
He didn't say what action he'd take, lots of legitimate options available.

Paying up front for cleaning is fair enough, getting rid of the dogs though is disproportionate and unlikely to happen. You have cleaning money, deposit and rights of inspection, why bother loosing a tenant over this?
At first i used to get offended that the forum could harbour such an arch and Dickensian character.. Until I came to realise that Shibboleth is just that.. A character, an alternative log in.. A figment of another forum member's sordid imagination

When she rang me and admitted to lying, she said she'd been trying to rehouse 2 of the dogs prior to moving in, but hadn't had any luck which is why she was forced to lie. So I asked her if she still intended to rehouse them, and she said she was.
So, either a) This is her intention in which case it's perfectly reasonable for me to put a time limit on this to avoid unnecessary wear/tear/damage to my property;
or b) She has no intention of getting rid of them, in which case she's still taking the piss out of me.

I have read the entire thread, and i can see both sides of this coin.
Yes you were lied to, you are bound to be concerned over a repeat of this, and at the same time annoyed.
I think the up front cleaning is reasonable, but as others have said the extra £pcm and 28 days maybe a little much and i can see why you've (planned to) request that, i just think maybe you should reconsider.
I think you could be in a worse situation as others have said. Yes she has lied and this is by no means any justification for lying, but.. she has probably been a little desperate in finding somewhere that will house her. If she has come from a break up as someone suggested, then this will have added to an awful situation for her. She has dogs that dog owners will understand are as loved as family members, so she didn't know what else she could do. She may have lied because she was desperate, not because she was an impulsive liar who was trying to get one over on you. If this is nipped in the bud then chances are you'll have a good tenant. The fact that she has rung you to apologize and paid a 6 month up front deposit surely sends signals of what kind of person she is?
As you say though, you need to be sure of that rather than just instinct, i'm just suggesting another angle to view from that is all.
The OP's just trying to squeeze more money out of what sounds to be a decent tenant. He really doesn't care about the woman's feelings. He wants hard cash. He knows she will pay him extra money as long as she can keep the extra 2 dogs. End of. I won't swear or I'll get banned but you get the drift of how I feel about him.
How would she feel if she read this? Do you think that she may end up using your comments against you? This is, after all, a public forum. If outlining your intentions to increase her rent wasn't bad enough, your repeated assertions regarding her ugliness certainly are. I'd tread a bit more carefully, to be honest. Then again, this could be just another troll.
a decent tenant
A woman that deliberately and calculatedly lied to trick a landlord into renting her a property that was clearly advertised as not accepting pets?
I'm not sure how that constitutes decent. She's dishonest. The only reason she paid 6 months up front is because I insisted on the basis that she has no regular income. And, she's got a face like a melted wellie!
(for the record, I'm a strong 9 out of 10.)

I really can't be bothered googling tenancy laws, but I'm fairly sure that your continued insistence on telling all and sundry on a public forum that you're going to increase her rent, coupled with repeated insults regarding her looks, could land you in it. You're her landlord, that's all. If you're so wound up, then cancel her tenancy - it seems that you have grounds to do so.
And, she's got a face like a melted wellie!
Irrelevant. And you wonder why you get some of the responses you do on here....
A woman that deliberately and calculatedly lied to trick a landlord
Shes a lady with 3 small dogs, shes not the joker..
Be realistic and you may find more people agree with your thought processes.
I said to myself I wouldnt get sucked in but...................... Yunki summed it up a while ago
Im pretty sure shib is trolling - he just enjoys winding up reasonable people
Shiboleth - it does seem like your just trying to wind up people who disagree with you now.
You've worked out what you want from the situation, have clearly got a lot of money up front from the woman and have a low opinion of both her honesty and appearance.
Is there really any more to be gained from posting on here?

No, please Mitch, let's have a look at these laws that prevent me from discussing my options in public? Idiot.
Oprah
Did I insult you at all? I may be many things, including being an idiot at times, but on this occasion, I'd have to disagree with you.
If you think there are laws that prevent a landlord discussing things like this, then I think 'idiot' is quite a reasonable word for it.
However, I think the truth is worse than that. You probably know full well that you're talking tripe, but you think that by throwing in posts like that, you might be able to sneak a point into the argument that has no basis in fact whatsoever.
Unfortunately, I, and many others that post on here, are very familiar with the law in this arena, so you're insulting our intelligence by suggesting such!
Unless I should have signed some sort of Hippocratic oath to become a landlord that I wasn't aware of... 🙄

A woman that deliberately and calculatedly lied to trick a landlord into renting her a property that was clearly advertised as not accepting pets?
Or to look at it another way.
A landlord that agreed to ignore the part of the contract that was clearly advertised as not accepting pets, and rent to a woman who had a pet.
You showed weakness and she took advantage.
And seeing you try and get all "Mr hardballl landlord" to try and save face, it looks like she's winning too.
The thing is, shibboleth, I have already stated that I agreed, to a point, with your original post. The concerns I pointed out were to do with your continued insults regarding your tenants looks, and the fact that you were outlining your intentions on a public forum, rather than doing so directly with the tenant, which may, how shall I put this, complicate matters. As far as my intelligence, or lack of same, is concerned, I'd like to point out that a: you don't know the first thing about me, and b: if you're simply trying to be the alpha male, then congratulations sir, well done.
Mitch, let me remind you...
I really can't be bothered googling tenancy laws, but I'm fairly sure that your continued insistence on telling all and sundry on a public forum that you're going to increase her rent, coupled with repeated insults regarding her looks, could land you in it.
So, I've challenged you to find me some laws that back up these wild claims you like to make. Any joy yet?
And while you're googling, please can you find me a law that prevents me describing her as having a face that only a mother would love?

That is an outrageous lie, Yunki.

I already stated that I couldn't be bothered googling tenancy laws, so take it as read that I don't have any knowledge of them. The point I'm trying to make, which you seem determined to ignore, is that it's not ok for you to continue insulting this woman and discussing her personal situation on a public forum. If there are no legal boundaries being broken here, then in my opinion, what you're doing is morally questionable. With regard to you calling me an Idiot, I'd rather you didn't do that again. As has previously been stated, play nicely...
(for the record, I'm a strong 9 out of 10.)
I'd say you're underselling yourself with that.
