What if snakes escape and lay eggs / have babies in the hot-press?
So an exotic dancer as a tenant, cool - what did you say the address was?
Yep!! that's the one.I think it is the other side of MaryBM's story.
Are you considering ending a tenancy midterm because of the snakes? I'm not sure you can legally do that. Though the agreement states no pets, if the agent knew and allowed the tenant to move in with the snakes anyway, I think the clause is null and void. Your sacking of the agent has nothing to do with the tenant and her lease.
Hi all,
Just got back from the UK and took the opportunity to pop round. Turns out they have 16 snakes and 2 lizards in the house!!! In fact, the day I turned up, they had 20 babies hatching from eggs which they have managed to sell. Asked about the breeds etc and none of them are prohibited under UK law. Anyway, from speaking to them and inspecting the property there is no smell, the snakes are well kept (the husband has had some of them for over 9 years and obviously knows the animals and keeps them very well) and they are fed on dead mice/rats obtained from local pet shops.
My only concern would be that when I try to sell the house in maybe a year or two that potential buyers may be put off as they have completely taken over the back room, it seems very much smaller than it actually is due to the number of glass cages in it. Apart from that, the house was clean and maintained, the tenants seem to be a lovely couple who pay their rent on time and appear to like the house.
I'm actually quite glad to have them and it also goes to show that I was right in sacking the UK agent as they knew from day 1 the number of snakes but to this day they have yet to tell me that the tenants have these unusual pets!!
Many thanks for all responses though, much appreciated.
Kind regards
LL
