Landlords letting to tenants with pets - new insurance

Landlords concerned about letting to tenants with pets might want to in future point them in the direction of a new pet insurance being launched by Petpals Direct.

This specialist insurance not only insures the tenant about future vets bills but importantly covers the tenant against potential damage to the landlords property.

Tenant pet insurance from Petpals Direct offers peace of mind to tenants who are familiar with the high costs of moving. The policy allows tenants to claim £700 if there is damage caused by the pet during the first 36 months of occupancy, and £500 thereafter.

However, whilst it might safeguard the tenant against the costs, the landlord will need to ensure that they have prepared an accurate inventory and carried out a authenticated 'check in' or latest evidence shows they will be unsuccessful in claiming back any of the tenants deposit.
