Q) I bought a building in Whittier. One of the tenants has a big dog and I really do not want dogs on the premises. His lease agreement prohibits dogs. Can I serve a "3-day Notice to Perform or Quit" to remove the dog? He is currently on a month-to-month agreement.
A) If the previous owner had allowed the dog, you could have trouble in enforcing that notice. The better approach would be to serve a "30-day Change of Terms of Tenancy" requiring the dog to be removed. After the 30-day period, if the dog is still present, you
could then serve a "3-day Notice to Perform or Quit".
