    hi  just joined , we were renting a farm house (houseyard only) whilst driving out the only driveway early one morning a cow  owned by the landlord charged our car causing $2300 odd worth of damage the landlords insurance says  its not liable the landlord refused to pay (and 2 days after I served him with a summons  we got a termination notice)  we have now moved , Is he liable for the damage or not .As I on a pension now I can not afford a lawyer . but some advise would be good  please help. I have a witness  who was in the car .

      Every time I thinkl I've read just about every weird story, something like this comes out of the blue.

      The first thing I have to say is that your landlord broke the law by terminating your lease because you were trying to assert your legal rights.

      The mad cow isn't a strata matter or even a rental issue … it's a small claims court matter and you should talk to a lawyer about that.

      But doesn't you car insurance cover this anyway?
