Was in the insurance adjusting business. In Florida owner of the dog is responsible for dog bites and laws make it easy for an injured person to make a claim against the dog owner. Property owner can have some responsibility. Suggest that if you have a renter with a dog, make sure that the renter does have good(with high limits) liability insurance that does not have an exclsion for dog bites and/or doge bites by certain breeds. If a bad dog bite occurs on your rented property, chances of getting sued are high and you would want to make sure that your own insurance company will protect you.
