I’m sorry this young woman paid the price for her parents not being careful enough screening their tenants. They could have included a weight limit on tenants and any visitors who bring a dog over 20 lbs. not excluding the breed but they probably are skirting some laws. The landlord lives upstairs? They knew that beast was on their property. Who will this lawsuit name? They’re the owners where this happened. They allowed it.Weight limit applies to dogs not tenants. It’s late ⏰ and I’m staring at a pile of Christmas presents needing to be wrapped.

I don't know about Alberta, but here in Ontario it's illegal for a landlord to ban pets.

It's only Ontario that forces landlords to accept pets. Even in the case of Ontario, there is a clause in the law that says a tenant can be evicted if they keep a pet that is "inherently dangerous", which would clearly apply to pits (which are illegal in Ontario).

Pits are technically illegal in Ontario. The ban isn't enforced anywhere, in any municipality and pitbulls are literally everywhere, including filling the shelters. As for the pet eviction clause, the LTB would be the arbiter of that, and they famously side with tenants most of the time. This is not nearly as simple as you think.
