Pet liability insurance & pet screening criteria

[Kishore Babu]

Hi, 

We are planning to rent our rental property for a tenant with pets (small dogs). We're doing it for the first time and got the details about the restricted dog breeds from our home insurance agent. Can you pls help me understand what kind of pet liability insurance do we need to ask our prospective tenant. I heard that not many renters insurance provide pet liability insurance (property damage and physical injury). In such cases, may I pls know if there's a better way to make sure tenant carries liability insurance both for property damage (our property and neighbor's property if any) and bodily injury liability. Is there a way to make sure the tenants doesn't cancel the pet liability insurance after they move-in. 

Also please help me with the other required pet related prerequisties (like vaccinations history, behavioral aspects etc.) that landlord needs to be make sure while screening tenant with pets. I will observe the dog's behavior when the tenants come for the property tour but need some help in other formalities that I need to make sure w.r.t pets. Is there a way to cross check what tenants say about the pet matches the actual info of the pet?.

Please suggest
