I have allowed tenants to have cats, I will NOT allow dogs.

 

I have had dogs for most of my life and know how much damage they can cause. And as a landlord you can not hold the pet owner accountable, so its much easier and safer to ban dogs.

 

Think of it this way, if someone with no car insurance crashed into you, you could not sue them for damages and your insurance won't pay out because they could not reclaim the money. Its that fair ?

 

Absolutely valid points! Plus I live in a small place so it wouldn't be fair for a dog.
