Ohio Supreme Court

L.H. v. Sun Secured Financing, L.L.C.

June 17, 20262026 Ohio 2219

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court held that Sun Secured Financing, the owner of a manufactured‑home community, was not a “harborer” of a resident’s dog under R.C. 955.28(B) because it did not shelter, protect, or exercise control over the animal. Accordingly, the court reversed the appellate court’s decision and reinstated the trial court’s summary‑judgment ruling in favor of Sun.
