Hi,
I just wonder who is responsible for the legal liability if tenant’s dog causes injures or death to the third party (any person) during the lease period? Landlord or tenant? It is so important in the decision making about selecting the tenants for my house investment property? Hope to get the answer or someone experience about this.
Thanks,
Reginald
Does the landlord own or have any interest in the dog? No.
Has the landlord consented to the dog being kept on the premises? Yes
Can the landlord put any conditions on the tenant when approving the dog eg insurance/indemnity? Yes.
Is it a dog which is deemed to be dangerous, eg pit bull/Staffy etc?This can be part of your negotiation with prospective tenant, if they want the premises, they will concede esp if there is competition.
