A: I come across cases like this on occasion where the question that arises is, "Can the landlord be held responsible for the dog bite injury even though the landlord does not own or harbor the dog?" The answer is usually no. The Washington Supreme court has held that a landlord cannot be held liable for the harm caused by a tennant's dog, even if the landlord had knowledge of the dog's vicious or dangerous propensities.
