Dogs in the rental apt

Julia J
Posted

Hi,

I need advice regarding dogs in the rental apt. One of the tenants moved out and she left such a mess behind especially of the dogs she had. I just bought the place and inherited the tenants.

I don't want to accept pets anymore but it seems hard to find somebody to rent to. It looks like everybody has at least one dog. Should I still wait for a tenants who doesn't own pets?

Thanks

Here I am quoting what an insurance agent sent me when I inquired about vicious dogs; I suggest you ask your agent or carrier what their restrictions and limitations are regarding dogs.

Most building owners don't consider dogs until the inspection reveals their presence and the insurance rates go up. Small breeds are fine as long as they do not have a previous bite history. Most standard companies will not write a building if any tenant owns a:

  • rottweiler,
  • pit bull,
  • chow chow,
  • doberman pinscher,
  • presa canario
  • or
  • shepherd.
