502 So. 2d 527 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1987)

Opinion

No. 86-1999.

February 17, 1987.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Phillip W. Knight, Judge.

James C. Blecke and Susan S. Lerner, Miami, for appellant.

Santone, Godfrey Keif, P.A., and G.J. Godfrey, Miami, for appellee.

Before BARKDULL, HENDRY, and JORGENSON, JJ.


The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Espinosa, the owner of the apartment building where Robinson was injured by a tenant's dog. The trial court's basis for the summary judgment was that Espinosa, the landowner, was not liable for Robinson's injuries because the dog belonged to a tenant. We reverse on the authority of Noble v. Yorke, 490 So.2d 29 (Fla. 1986), and remand for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
