Landlords warned about taking in pets

Landlords have been warned by leading landlord website Property Hawk about taking in tenant with pets. Chris Horne Editor warns landlords that most landlord insurance policies do not cover landlords against damage to their property by guests and pets.

Landlords intending to take tenants with pets are always advised to check with their landlord insurance broker before buying.

The best advice for landlords considering taking tenants with a pet is to ensure that they take a large deposit.

Landlords that live in an apartment should also check their lease as this may specifically prohibit pets.
