Tenants in a Spring Valley apartment complex were recently told to get rid of their pets or face eviction. Residents at the Avon Gardens apartments received a letter last month from the management that said the building must be animal free. The tenants say their lease does not allow pets, but that rule has never been enforced. The deadline to get rid of the animals was March 10, but since then the management has taken no action. Many residents say they didn?t want to risk eviction and gave their pets away. Now tenants are waiting to see if the complex will stick to its eviction threats.
