Syllabus

The trial court did not err by granting a landlord's motion for summary judgment on appellant's statutory claim for damages under R.C. 955.28(B) or her common-law negligence claim for damages relating to a dog-bite injury where the landlord was not the owner, keeper, or harborer of the dog. Evidence introduced by the landlord demonstrated that the dog bite occurred in the yard leased to the tenants, not in a parking lot or other common area controlled by the landlord.
