If a tenant's dog escapes from a fence gap and attacks someone on the street or neighboring property, is it the property owner's or tenant's responsibility? Can individuals file a lawsuit against the property owner? Read it online and found it interesting. #investments investments
If it’s a fence gap then probably property owner. I’m not a lawyer. I’m just an L3 trying to become a new grad.
Tricky. If you knew you’d probably sue both since the landlord has property insurance and the tenant is personally liable.
Well, in any case the insurance companies are all going to say “not me” and whoever cares to take it to court is going to argue it is the responsibility of whoever has the highest level of coverage. The enlightened view is probably that it depends on specifics of city ordinances in the area regarding leashing animals, as well as the terms of the lease agreement. Core questions would be whether leash laws have a carve out for animals in a closed area, and whether the lease agreement requires the landlord to maintain the fence.
Both should expect to get sued. The insurance companies will apportion blame and sort it out amongst themselves. Factors will include who was responsible for maintaining the fence, who knew about the gap, who let the dog out unsupervised, how many cat people are on the jury, etc.
The property wasn’t secured. The dog could’ve gotten scared and not being himself.
Tenant is liable.,
