Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that pit bulls are ‘inherently dangerous’

When it comes to the management of any condo, apartment building or complex, there are many contractual obligations that landlords must follow. The safety and security of their residents is of the utmost importance and, in order to ensure that all occupants are content with their residence, housing managers in Arizona may want to speak with Phoenix business law attorneys.

Landlords and dog owners in Maryland have had a number of issues to handle after the state's Court of Appeals ruled that purebred pit bulls are dangerous and that property owners will be held responsible for any attacks or accidents caused by this breed.

The Newark Post Online reported that the Humane Society of the United States has come together to develop a helpline program for dog owners and landlords who are attempting to prevent the pit bulls from having to be given up for adoption.

The Baltimore Sun reported that one resident of Armistead Gardens is actually suing the state government in federal court regarding the court's position on pit bulls. Joseph Weigel filed the complaint at the beginning of September and vows that he would move out of his apartment complex in order to keep his dog.

"These people are faced with a very hard choice – homelessness or euthanization of their dogs," Charles Edwards, Weigel's attorney, told the news source. "It's an incredibly difficult case to win, but you got to do something."

Housing managers of Arizona who are looking to avoid a legal battle may need dispute resolution techniques. Speaking with a business attorney in Phoenix may be the best solution for these companies.
