[Landlord US-GA] issue with tenant
For context, I am my own property manager. When I met this tenant, she was perfectly nice, though she had been previously homeless. Despite that, I decided to move forward with the lease. She has rented from me for 7 years (although she hasn't made one payment yet).
I decided to conduct a surprise inspection at 3am the other night. She was very excited to see me, so I wasn’t expecting any problems, though she can tend to be high maintenance, contacting me when she needs things like belly rubs. She likes a lot of attention. When I conducted my inspection, I found she had pooped in the hallway.
There is a perfectly good bathroom inside the house, though she prefers to go outside usually either in the backyard or while walking around the neighborhood. I just wasn’t expecting this behavior. I’m just not quite sure how to proceed. Any thoughts?
EDIT: this was a one off event so I think I'm going to let it slide since normally she's a very good girl. Just curious what others would do.
