Renting to pet-owning tenants is not for everybody but for those landlords who are open to the idea to do so there could be ample opportunities and positives. We get together with Amanda Chue of Barfoot & Thompson* Browns Bay and Rene Swindley of Initio Insurance** to chat about renting to tenants with pets and what it takes to create a happy and long-term pet-friendly tenancy.

Session topics

• Overview of the current tenancy law vis-à-vis pets at rentals;
• What types of properties and landlord personality types are best suited for pet-friendly tenancies;
• Common issues, war stories from the front line and how to resolve them;
• The effects of pets at rentals form an insurance perspective and how to work out whether you are adequately covered;
• How to create better opportunities with pet-friendly tenancies.
