How do I enforce my 'no pets' policy?
My house has a separate apartment that I rent out. In my newspaper ad, I specified NO PETS because I am severely allergic to cats. The apartment and my living quarters share the heating system, so any hair makes its way into my rooms. Now my tenant has brought in a cat and refuses to get rid of it. My allergic reactions are making my life miserable, and my doctor tells me I must get away from the cat hair and dander. I'm desperate -- this person has a year's lease!

constructive eviction
When a landlord provides housing that is so substandard that a landlord has legally evicted the tenant. For example, if the landlord refuses to provide heat or water or refuses to clean up an environmental health hazard, the tenant has the right to move out and stop paying rent, without incurring legal liability for breaking the lease.
