    I really hope the tenants screw the OP for every penny they have left. If I could work out the location I'd help them do it too!

    Then you are a very vindictive individual.

    She originally claimed that the dog did not really belong to her and had only been staying for a few days, which I knew from the start was not true. It had been hidden away when I visited.

    The dog would not know anyone else living there from Adam as the other flat's owners are normally in HK and have not been back since my tenants moved in. It's very lucky that I experienced this and can warn them.

    Does the relevant insurance company know that the other flat is vacant?

    Czechoslovakian wolf dogs are amazingly rare, the tenants must have gone to an amazing amount of trouble to find even an imaginary one.

    Not 'amazingly' rare, easily obtainable from Europe or from one of the UK breeders if you have the money. You can even get yourself an abandoned one if you want your belongings / neighbours scratched and shredded for a discount price.

    You need to understand if the tenants get professional advice, you will be totally over the barrel.

    Hardly my concern... I'm sure they have everything covered

    You don't even have to go the trouble of getting some wolf dog for that - my beagle was a real terror when he was younger - and still is when he gets a divo moment.

    Not dangerous?!! The only reason I still have both my arms is that I sensed something was wrong when I stepped out into the garden ! The tenants had left their back door wide open (they were out at the time, how responsible!) and the dog soon came barrelling through the house as soon as it heard me. Luckily it made a lot of noise and I had time to run inside and shut the door behind me before it came up against it snarling and scrabbling. It then went to the window to stare and growl at me and was trying to scrabble in through the sides of the window with single-mindedness for five minutes, I left the room and locked the kitchen because I was so afraid it might manage to get in. Let me remind you that this apartment (that I entered through) is owned by a family who have young children and that this garden is shared, what if they had come home today while my tenants were out and it had been a child in the path of this 'just scary' animal? Would it be OK for it to terrorise them in their own garden and through their windows? This is pure stupidity and recklessness on the part of my tenants, I have no doubt that I would have been bitten if I had not got through the door in time. But at least I took a video of it, snarling its teeth through someone else's window and scratching at the glass and if that is not dangerous behaviour I don't know what is.

    So you were in this families home when they weren't there!

    do try and keep up with the near 600 posts on this thread.

    The property he entered is the flat of his "relations" for which he has the key, as those relations, like the OP until recently, do not actually spend much time in the Uk, as they prefer to be abroad. So the flat has no one in it. Why the Op would have a key to it when he himself was recently living abroad is another continuity [STRIKE]gaff[/STRIKE] question.
