Summary Judgment R.C. 955.28(B) Harborer Landlord. A plaintiff may establish liability for a dog-bite by demonstrating that the defendant was the owner, keeper, or harborer of the dog. If the dog is owned or kept by a tenant, the landlord may be liable if he or she was a harborer of the dog. A harborer is a person who has possession or control of the premises where the dog lives. The ability to admit or exclude people from the property is the key indicator of control.
