I have a scoring sheet and use a point system; every applicant is yes, no, or holding pattern no matter what my husband thinks.German shepherds are classified as dangerous breeds.  

If dogs, what breedNot all of the above will cause you not to get insurance but several (knob & tube/aluminium wiring, certain breeds of dogs, inground tanks) will severely limit which companies will quote it).Because you are in RI you also need to be aware of the distance to the coast.

Unless your market is unique, it's normally difficult for renters with large dogs to find housing.This doesn't mean pit bulls or any other breed your insurance won't cover.

Proposed pets (size/breeds) 4.)

The ants generally take it back to the colony and this causes a colony to collapse (also works for some breeds of roaches).

Dogs and cats with breed restrictions will allow for higher than average rent.
