MADISON - The Wisconsin Supreme Court says a landlord can't be held liable as the owner of his tenants' dogs for multiple injuries they inflicted on a woman.
According to court documents, George Kontos allowed his daughter and her family to live on his Winnebago County property with their dogs. In June 2010 the dogs attacked Julie Augsburger.
Augsburger sued, alleging Kontos was liable for her injuries. A judge ruled Kontos was the dogs' owner under state law and could be held liable. An appeals court affirmed that ruling.
