The dog's owner is responsible, first and foremost and always, for anything their dog does.

However, factors that can influence that responsibility and perhaps shift some of it onto the landlord are 1) whether the dog was permitted under the terms of the lease, 2) the presence of appropriate Fencing, and 3) whether the landlord had made appropriate fencing either permissible or available.

If there were no pets permitted, then the dog owner is entirely At Fault and can probably be evicted for breaching the terms, in addition to any official punishment by the law.

If there was no decent fencing, then it depends on why not: if the landlord said it was okay or if fencing was available, then the tenant has complete responsibility; and if the landlord denied the permission or availability of fencing then they are partly at fault too.

Generally there is no point in suing a property manager for not collecting rent. It should be noted that the tenant is responsible for paying his rent on time. It is not the responsibility for the landlord to collect the rent. If the landlord does not collect rent and the tenant should send it to the landlord by mail or in person.

This depends on if you are moving out before the lease is up.
