Q & A with Prop West: Rent Control

Q) I bought a building in a rent controlled area. One of the tenants does not have a rental agreement. The previous owner allowed this tenant to have a dog. The tenant now wants to bring in an additional dog. I really am opposed to this. Is there any way to stop the tenant from getting an additional pet?

A) Unfortunately, since you do not have a rental agreement, the tenant is free to bring in an additional pet. If either of the pets becomes a nuisance, that could give rise to an eviction action, otherwise you will have to accept the situation.
