If I rent a house and I have a dog that attacks a neighbors pet or child?
what liability would my lanlord have
Additional Details
the landlord has been informed that the dog may be dangerous
                     
 




Patrick
Both you and the landlord would be hauled into court. The liability can fall partially on both of you. It would be up to the courts to decide who was liable for the bite. I have seen landlords held responsible for the actions of the dog because they had allowed a dangerous breed dog on the premises.

The tenant would most likely also be held responsible because they are the owner of the pet. the problem really comes into what gets done afterward. Most tenants are considered "uncolletible" if someone sues them and wins. This is because they usually only have the possessions they own, car, furniture, etc. A landlord however has a property that can have a lien put against it so they are considered more "collectible" then the tenant.

If the landlord has been notified that the dog has been dangerous he/she will most likely ask for the dog to be removed. One reason is for the above statements. Another reason to ask the dog to be removed is that if the landlord's insurance carrier finds out that there is a dangerous dog living on the premises they will either 1- ask for the removal of the dog or 2- cancel the insurance policy because of the dangerous animal.


.....
You will be sued. Better get insurance and a good lawyer.

In addition to what others have said, if your landlord could prove that you knew your dog was vicious when you rented the house, then he might very well sue you for any damages to the property or any suits that come his way when the dog attacks someone.

It's obviously a hypothetical question, but if you have a properly drawn lease he has none. You are liable and in some places might go to jail. I hope you do.


Landlord
Both will be sued. Both will loose everything if the attack is a child. You both deserve to loose your shirt. Unless the dog was mentioned in the insurance it is not covered and violated the insurance policy. Anyone knowing their animal is dangerous should put it down, any one who does not is despicable, to willingly risk a childs life for a dog.

If the attack is another animal it stops with law suit.

If the attack was a person the dog owner (not the landlord) will be arrested and face criminal charges.

If I knew at the time you applied to rent my house that you had a dangerous dog, I wouldn't rent to you.

If I found out AFTER you rented the house that you had a dog PERIOD, you would be served with a notice to get rid of the dog or vacate. If you didn't comply, you would be forcibly evicted.

So for me, there would be no liability because I took measures to mitigate the risk.

none - the liability is all YOURS - call your renters insurance to file a claim - if you don't have renters insurance the person who your dog bit - can sue you personally for medical and possible punitive damages (pain & suffering) and request that the dog be put to sleep


Ross
Landlord rights are limited to their home when it is occupied by a renter, so are there responsibilities. Its you dog, the dog is your property, not the landlords. Your problem. That would be like saying your minor child that lives with you went out and beat up the kid next door, who do you think would be responsible, the parent or the landlord?


JD

None, its your dog. Train your animal or keep it on a leash like a responsible person would. Believe me if your dog hurt my kid you better be prepared for a serious lawsuit.


Sissy
You would be sued it is your dog and you take responsibility for it's actions. If you have the means to pay you will receive a judgement against you and your personal assets. However if you have renters insurance, the insurance company would pay out on your behalf. If you have none, your landlords homeowners gets sued. This is because he is the last resort and he allowed you to have the pet so he is the liable one.
