Landlords Insurance and pest infestations

10:57 AM, 22nd January 2014, 13 years ago 5

Please can anyone tell me if landlords insurance policies cover pest infestations? Including any damage caused by the pests.

We have a problem with rats, the tenant is responsible because of the rubbish they let build up in the garden, and also the pet rabbits they are now keeping in the attached garage. Will our insurers cover the damage caused by the rats chewing.

What would a landlord need to do, they did not know the tenant had rabbits in the garage.

Many thanks
