There was an article today in the newspaper where a child was bitten by her parent`s pitbull and she had 25 stiches to her face. I was very shocked as just 2 weeks ago We interviewed a family who wanted to rent one of our houses and they had a pitbull. We decided not to rent to them as there was another family who fit our system a bit better.
I know we talk about tenants with pets and for the most part everything goes fine. My question is this: Is there any liability to the landlord if a tenant`s pet does harm to someone else? what precautions can we take to prevent things like this?
Thanks for your replies.
