Q: I'm the one who posted in West Monroe Louisiana about Pitt bull mauling.. Rental house but landlord admitted he knew
The Pitt was on chain in BK yard for years he broke chain and I pulled up . Is landlord responsible also
A: If the landlord knew there was a vicious dog residing on his property and didn't take reasonable steps to ensure visitors were protected from the animal, there may be a cause of action against the landlord. An attorney like me who handles personal injury matters can help you explore your rights.
Randy Bryan Ligh agrees with this answer
A: The landlord may be responsible but more information is needed. My recommendation is that what you should do is contact a personal injury lawyer and set up a consult to discuss the specifics of your matter---most personal injury lawyers provide free consults so you should take us up on these opportunities----discuss whether or not to the landlord is responsible in your consult and determine whether or not it is in your best interests to have an attorney represent you. Good luck.
