Tennant dog Bites Delivery Driver

[Paul Sassin]

Need some advise, Supposedly one of my tenants dog bit a delivery driver at their front door. They are attempting to hold us as the home owner liable with a law suit.

Couple facts -

1. We inharited the tennant and dog when we purchased home

2. We are not aware dog is viscous (small dog)

3. The tenant does not have tennant insurance

4. Tennant did sign a pet disclosure. Stating landlords are not liable for pets actions.

5. The drivers lawyer wants us to call him.

Thank you for any advise!
