TLM Investments, LLC v. Shanda Yates

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s denial of summary judgment and granted summary judgment for TLM Investments, holding that TLM lacked actual or constructive knowledge of the tenant’s dog and its dangerous propensities, and that the guest, Shanda Yates, was not an intended third‑party beneficiary of the lease. Accordingly, TLM owed no duty to Yates and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
