4332 REVIEW DENIED Without actual knowledge of the dog's propensity to do harm, a landlord does not have a duty to control a dog kept by a residential tenant, and knowledge that the dog is allowed to run off-leash or that its owner does not clean up after it is not knowledge of such a propensity; a landlord is not vicariously liable for torts committed by a tenant; the doctrine of nondelegable duty applies to existing duties, but does not create duties that otherwise would not exist.CitationCHEE v GOLDT (Condo Dog) 143 CA4 1360 [See: Portillo v Aiassa 27 CA4 1128, T/AT9/94; www.advance-tapes.com/citations/dog.html]
