Forum / Leasing Issues / liability when renting property

If the tenents have animals and their own structure on property how does the landlord protect themselves legally if something happened to the animals or the animals do damage to property?

RE: liability when renting property

If a tenant if allowed to have pets on the property, a pet deposit is required for my rentals. The deposit would cover any possible damage.

RE: liability when renting property

we did pet addendum from this site that have a clause about damages. I wouldn't rely pet deposit - what if damage caused is greater than deposit?
