What are the new rules around pets in rental properties?
So there is some good news for tenants and in some cases, some not so good news for landlords ...
You may have heard about some changes to legislation in Queensland surrounding pets in rental properties. For as long as I can remember owners of rental properties have had the right to choose whether to allow tenants to have a pet or not.
All that is set to change. Soon, landlords will need to provide a fair and reasonable reason to deny a tenant a pet.
This may seem quite scary, especially to owners that have experienced issues before with pet damage.
But, there is a safety net .... and that is to ensure you have adequate insurance.
This is where I'm going to get you to do something really important .... check what your current landlord insurance actually covers!! So many 'landlord' policies have pet damage exclusions. This can leave owners completely high and dry when it comes to a claim.
For $300-$400 per year, landlords can protect themselves with the best policies going, specifically designed for rental properties. Want to know our top recommendations? Contact us here
