    Hi,

    We have new tenants with new dogs (old tenants had dogs too). PM has a received an email from the neighbour requesting new fence because tenants dogs can get through.

    What's my obligation in this scenario? This is Brisbane City Council.

    Cheers,
    J

    "A part of caring for your dog is ensuring that it has a safe, secure environment in which to live. Constructing an adequate fence around your property protects both your dog and your neighbourhood. Remember, this is a Council requirement. Failure to provide adequate confinement could result in a fine."

    If you allowed pets in your lease then as a LL you are up for a fence that can keep them on the property. If the fence needs repair / replacement, then the costs are shared with the neighbour.
