  Actually, in this court case this had nothing to do with the courts trying to weed out 'deadbeats'. It had everything to do with an elderly family owning a property in which an attack happened on the property. They were underinsured and in trying to cover medical costs the case went up the ladder in the court system.

  Further, the dog in question was not a pit bull, so that breed specific language was added in the appeals court ruling. I understand that you have an issue with 'deadbeat' rentors but that is a bit different form what this court ruling constitutes and the ramifications go much deeper.

  I know of a number of good solid, working class families who rent, pay their bills and have had to either move to keep their family pets or they have had to give their pets up. This has happened over the last year due to the fear of landlord liability becuase of this court ruling.

  It is great that the Assembly has come up with a revision that is a much less intrusive and more fair interpretation.

  I am not writing this to participate in an argument, simply to try to get comments back on track with what this court ruling is really about, and that is where the liability is held and what is fair and reasonable.

  One other tip - if your pet has medical needs add a separate tag with the pet's name, their medical condition that needs treatment and your vet's contact info. This helps whoever finds the animal get treatment as soon as possible, which could be the difference between life and death for your companion.

  We have a dog with idiopathic epilepsy and she wears a specific medical tag for it.
