Is My Landlord Responsible for a Dog Bite?

To hold a landlord responsible, you’ll need to prove that the landlord knew or should have known that a dangerous dog lived on their property and failed to address the situation. It’s a landlord’s responsibility to keep their property safe.

When a landlord has the opportunity to intervene and doesn’t, they may be held liable for your injuries. A negligent landlord who ignores dangers on their property can be held financially responsible for failing to protect renters and their guests.
