Property Management and Pets

Every property manager, including those at Fred Leeds properties, at one point must make the decision to allow or prohibit pets. While many landlords do not want to allow them for fear of property damage, others think it’s a bad idea to prohibit them, because tenants will most likely have them anyway. Luckily, many pet owners are very responsible and will disclose their animal count and typically be very careful to prevent damage.

However, an issue beyond property damage that landlords and owners need to carefully consider is the possibility of dangerous pets. The staff at Fred Leeds Property Management works to stay abreast on this issue, and does everything possible to protect clients from the potential liability caused by dog attacks. Many South Bay property management companies enforce strict policies regarding vicious animals, as insurance companies tend to decline coverage for such pets. Some of the types of dogs that may be considered dangerous include: Alaskan Malamutes, Akitas, Chow Chows, Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers and Siberian Huskies.

At Fred Leeds Property Management, we will help the landlord devise their policy by providing up-to-date information and statistics on dog attacks. When there is the potential of a life-threatening or fatal attack, this type of policy is a serious matter that must be carefully considered.
