Dear Community,

I hope you are all crushing it!  Question, how much does your property management company charge your tenants for NSF (bounced checks).  And if the tenant does not pay for them, do they charge you for these fees?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you for sharing.  Have you found any insurance company that provides pet liability coverage for the landlord?

Hello BP Community!

Happy friday!  Hoping you can share your wisdom on the topic of dog/liability.   How do you go about:

1) Liability mitigation:

From a landlords standpoint, i understand there is not much we can do directly to cover our liability exposure related to dog incidents (beyond asking tenants to get renters insurance and include the landlord as additional insured). Do you know of other ways to mitigate this type of liability?

2) Verifying the breed of the dog:
I understand in talking with insurance companies that the tenants provide the type of breed during the renters insurance app process. But the breed really is not verified until the time a claim is filed and an insurance adjuster determines if the actual dog breed is covered by the policy (as some insurance companies have a dog breed exception list, for aggressive breeds.). At this point, it's too late to verify a breed in the event the tenant's dog is not covered by the policy. So does anyone have ideas about how to verify the dog breed during the tenant lease application process?

3) Pet policy:

Pls share your pet policies, looking for ways to enhance ours.

Thank you in advance for your help!

hello BP community! Hope you are great.   

Does anyone know if a Pinellas and Hillsborough county sinkhole map tool exist to look up properties impacted by sinkholes.  Pasco country has a great tool to complete this research http://maps.pascopa.com/

Thank you!

Thank you all so much for your insights! 

@Kurt Traynor what did you mean with "Impact to city is an option but for a rental, depending on your cash flow of course, probably will take you many many years to recoup."  Does this relate to the comment John mentioned about city assessments? 

Good morning!

Looking for guidance regarding septic tanks:

1- for those familiar with Tampa Bay area, are septic tanks common / expected in the Holiday, Port Richey, New Port Richey area?

2- based on the location above, do septic tanks impact the resell value?

3- i've never dealt with septic tanks, what are the pros / cons of having one in a rental unit?

Thank you in advance for sharing your wisdom with me!

@Jay Helms Thank you Jay.  I will try it out!
