Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else has run into a problem like this: My fiance was trying to get renters' insurance today and was turned down. The reason: we have ferrets. Apparently, the company doesn't want to be liable *in case the ferret attacks someone*. Not even any mention of property damage or odor problems. Attacks. Apparently the agent pulled out a list of reasons they won't cover someone. On in were several breeds of "vicious" dogs.... and FERRETS. I just blew up when I heard that. She said we'd get turned down for homeowner's insurance, which we will eventually want, for the same reason. Has anyone else heard of this, and if so what can you do? Do we just not tell them? When my fiance protested she apparently said something like "well, the rules are there for a reason." Sheesh. And here I thought we were making progress. I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks a lot, Rachel and the three vicious attack ferrets [Posted in FML issue 4908]
