Thanks for the answers. Does Umbrella insurance cover any animal damages? I see to it that each tenant has renter's insurance. Am not aware if Umbrella insurance covers any property damages done by tenants, kids or animals? I have
Amica Insurance which is rated #1 by Consumer Reports. How much extra should we charge if Tenant has pets? I have a person with 2 cats and 2 tiny dogs who wants to rent. That sounds ridiculous to me! Her age is 68 and she has 2 room mates 67 and 50! 3 ladies and 4 pets! 3 BR house, 1 BA.

It's worth the cost in my book. that cover
