[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.

Is a First Dance song really a special request?

We've had our contract with our musicians signed since December and in that time after emailing and calling them total amount of 5 to 6 times and never once hearing back we finally got a hold of them two weeks before the wedding tonight and the organizer for the band says that they can't play our first dance song because they don't know it and special requests were due 2 months before the event via email... A deadline that was never communicated to us and we have to submit it to an email that is apparently never looked at. Is this really a special request? It never occurred to me that a wedding band wouldn't automatically be playing our song and the band leader is making it sound like we are being unreasonable for not wanting them to play a recording, this is especially annoying after not being able to get a hold of them whatsoever despite multiple voicemails and emails. We've already put down a 20% deposit I'm willing to eat that loss but would it even be possible to find a more reasonable band 2 weeks before the wedding? Idk. Trying to decide what to do the remaining 80% is due in 3 days. What say ye reddit am I ignorant of how these bands work or are these guys operating way outside standard practice for wedding bands??
