Pitbull (Renter Liability Insurance)

I am a home renter living in Ft Lauderdale, FL. Does anybody knows if it's possible to get a dog liability insurance? My only problem is the dog is a pitbull.

Apparently State Farm and USAA do not ask for breed of dog just if there has ever been a bite/attack.

Right, they go on a case-to-case basis. I also didn't realize that it is illegal for insurance companies in Pennsylvania and Michigan to blacklist breeds.

Sure, as long as it doesn't have papers, isn't registered. If it IS papered/registered and you lie to your insurance company you will have no coverage at all.

This is generally bad advice - same with people who lie about their mileage to get a less expensive auto insurance rate, tell the company no one underage drives the car. Works fine until you're in an accident and the insurance company decides to take a stand.
