We’ve answered some frequently asked questions about pet damage cover to help you make your decision.What is pet damage cover?
As great as they are, it’s no secret that pets can cause serious amounts of damage to your property. And this doesn’t just apply to landlords that let their properties furnished – pets have been known to chew through banisters and even skirting boards when they’re on a mission!
Pet damage cover is additional protection provided as part of your landlord insurance policy to protect your fixtures, fittings and any furniture you might have in the property against damage caused by your tenants’ pets.
Do I need pet damage cover?
Research from Dogs Trust has shown that 1 in 3 pet owners struggle to find a suitable property. Whether this is because landlord's fear the damage pets may cause, or simply because they don't want to the hassle of writing it into the tenancy agreement, you could find that allowing your tenants to keep their pets results in longer tenancies and less competition when you do inevitably have to search for new tenants. Having pet damage cover included with your landlord insurance will give you the freedom to accept tenants with pets should you choose to. (https://www.letswithpets.org.uk/media/research)
