ONE RENTING WOE
There are some advantages to renting. As many renters are aware, many large and expensive responsibilities which concern owning and maintaining a property belong to the owner. However, landlords and property owners are largely not responsible for the actions or damage caused by pets
You may be considering renting a property for you and your furry best friend, as are fifty percent of renters, according to the Insurance Journal. Pets, especially dogs and exotic animals are responsible for some of the worst daily damage to property, not to mention the possible threat to other people. We all love our pets and it is difficult to imagine that precious friend has the capacity to hurt anyone. Still, sometimes other people don’t know how to treat animals and may provoke a side of your friend you have never seen before.
More and more it is easier to find a rental property which allows pets, to the delight of every animal lover, but take precaution. It may be your landlord’s problem if the roof starts leaking, but if your puppy ruins the carpet, seems to attack or even bite a neighbor, that lawsuit will be on your hands. Get renters insurance. Most renters insurance will cover you if you are ever sued for the damage done by you or your pet while residing in a rental property. Renters insurance protects you and your neighbors.
