Legal Answers
Q. Who is responsible for damages for my dog bite?
A: Generally, a landlord is not automatically liable for injuries their tenant's dog causes. However, they can face liability where: (1) they had actual knowledge of the dog's vicious tendencies; meaning they knew the dog was aggressive or had bitten someone before; and (2) they had the ability to prevent foreseeable harm, but failed to do so.

In your situation, it could come down to whether the pit bull had previously caused injuries/was vicious or aggressive AND the grandmother knew about it AND the grandmother had the ability to prevent the harm (I.e., make the dog owner get rid of or relocate the dog; or if the gate was open because it was broken, the landlord would have had a duty to fix the gate the prevent the harm to you and others).

The other issue you may run into is even if the owner of the home is liable, their homeowner's insurance policy may also include a similar breed exclusion.
