In most cases, the dog's owner is the one responsible for damages caused by the dog. However, in some cases other people may be held liable. For example, if a dog is declared a dangerous dog under Florida statutes and must be registered with authorities due to this status and due to a history of dog bites and aggressions, others who know about the history of aggression may be held liable if the dog harms anyone else. In some cases, a landlord may be held liable for damages caused by a dog belonging to a tenant. This can occur if landlord was aware of a dog’s past aggressiveness and did not enforce a no pet policy in a rent or lease contract.
