michaeltucsonaz.bsky.social @michaeltucsonaz.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I just had my insurance canceled because of a shed. I demolished it when it was still hot in Tucson because I don’t want an uninsured risk like that. If a tenant has a dog that is either (1) excluded from my landlord coverage or (2) results in losing my whole policy, it’s not a red herring for me. 000
michaeltucsonaz.bsky.social @michaeltucsonaz.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Small children don’t bite as hard as a few of the more aggressive dog breeds. If we are talking insurance, dogs as a whole category are riskier than children. Insurers accept the risk of a golden retriever bite, but a German shepherd that can jump over a fence and maim a human might be too much. 110
michaeltucsonaz.bsky.social @michaeltucsonaz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026LLs do what insurers demand, including allowed dogs. If a landlord is lucky, they have 30 days to cure. Less fortunate ones lose insurance. I’ve been in both situations. I recently demo’ed a large, ugly shed (yayyy) in the Tucson heat (noooo) because my new policy excluded the shed. Easy decision! 180
