Question for you. Are landlords liable for injuries to tenants on their property? I get this question sometimes and it’s very rare that I’ll take a case of a tenant against his own landlord. But sometimes they create conditions that are so dangerous that I have to take the case. Let me tell you the
00:21
reason I don’t take many of these cases. The tenant lives in the property. They know the dangers possibly better than most others, including the landlord. So, if there’s a light that’s out, the tenant usually knows that. If there’s a slippery area, the tenant usually knows
00:36
that. However, certain types of problems um arise like um dangerous staircases. I took a case recently and I feel that the landlord should have repaired that staircase because it’s dangerous even if a tenant knows about it. So, if you have a question about an injury to a tenant
00:55
on a landlord’s premises, give me a call.
