1 ANSWER
The homeowner, assuming the renters were paying rent to the homeowner, could be sued for the claim of negligence, provided he knew or should have known of the renter’s dogs propensity for violence, and failed to take steps to eliminate or abate the risk. These cases are fact specific so discuss case in private with counsel.
