Want to rent rooms to friends but they have German Shepherds

[Alec Denlinger]

I am going to buy a house with the coming months and would like to rent out two of the rooms while living in the third. The only problem is that both of my friends have German Shepherds. I know a lot of insurances don’t cover these dogs. What would the best, cheapest, and safest way to insure myself and them so we don’t get in trouble or a law suit? Both of these dogs are very friendly. I am just not sure because I’ve heard of landlords not renting to others because they have German Shepherds.

I think State Farm will cover "dangerous breeds." A tenant of mine had her own insurance to cover her dog, which you could require of your friends.
