Cane Corso puppy

Hi all,

I have a great tenant who has been requesting I allow them to get a dog. I have decided to go ahead and allow them to get a dog as I believe it will create a 'home' like environment. These tenants pay the rent early, take care of the home and are just generally good people. I said they would need to sign an addendum to our lease to reference pets and the tenants responsibility for any damages caused by the pet and they had no issues. Since I told them I could not allow any dogs on my insurance deny coverage list I really expected them to come back with a small breed dog. They want a cane corso! From what I can see this seems like a docile large breed dog but I am nervous about damages. This is a small 3/1 1100 Sq Ft home.

Thoughts?

Should I have asked for more in the monthly rent? Did I just destroy my chance at profit due to animal destruction?

Thanks
