Landlords at Risk of Further Bites


I have found some strange things when visiting vacated properties.

Bits of clothing, furniture, books, cd's, letters, electronics, hair and scabs.

I've not yet been left a pet, thankfully. Unlike the American landlord who on arriving at a vacated property to clean up before the new tenants arrived, found a surprising bit of unwanted tenant property.

The landlord from the Wisconsin town of Beloit arrived a month after the tenant had vacated the rental property, only to discover a hungry two-year-old alligator in one of the rooms.

The landlord got the assistance of a local animal charity who took it in and said that although it was unwell it would probably make a full recovery.

The animal charity said alligators made bad pets. "They are going to look at you as food at some point," he said.

A further incident of tenants trying to take a bite out of their landlord.

The question is would this be covered under landlord insurance policy.

See our landlord insurance special rates.
