Marketing to "dangerous dogs" owners

Bienes Raices

Posted

I put "dangerous" in quotes because the insurance companies I'm dealing with seem to think any large dogs are a threat and ban them.

My agent told me that having the tenant get renter's insurance will not work because a dogbite victim can just decide to sue me instead if they choose.

But these people are obviously renting from some landlords, somewhere. I was thinking it could be a great niche to be able to accept these dog owners and possibly charge a higher rent.

Is there some way to get them to buy a separate insurance policy on their own for the dog (NOT renter's insurance) that can include the landlord as a co-insured, and offers real protection? There must be a workaround for this.
