Potential Property Damage

Albert Johnson
Posted

I have a rental that has a few units on the property. There are two gates to enter on the property.  Recently a few cows entered the property due to the gates being left open. I took pictures of the cows footprints leading onto the property. I plan to send all the tenants a message to keep the gates closed when not in use, also to keep the property from being damage by roaming animals.

The property is close to state land and sometimes there are roaming wildlife such as cows. Once I send them a message about keeping the gates closed and if they ignore it, who would be responsible for any damage if there would be any from wildlife?

Would they be held liable? Would I be liable and make claims with my insurance?
