Landlord gets sued from tenant dog bite!

Good day BP,

     I had a training yesterday with my friend, attorney Jessica Segal.  She's been representing real estate investors for 18 years and recently picked up a case to represent a property owner that's getting sued because his tenant's dog bit a neighbor.  The first thing I asked was how on earth could an owner get sued for something the tenant did?  Yes, it's true that if you don't take the necessary precautions, we can get sued for our tenant's actions.  

     In this case the tenant was walking their dog and apparently the animal ran off to engage the neighbor's dog.  One thing lead to another quickly and someone got bit, BAD.  Us real estate investors carry tons of liability and exposure so Jessica breaks down how we can 100% know we're going to be protected against unforeseen loss like this.  Learn her strategies to stay in business and not end up spending thousands of dollars, like this landlord did in legal fees.  Enjoy our training and if you're interested in a subscription to our monthly newsletter, delivered directly to your house, email [email protected]

Hasko!
