There are many landlords out there that have the best intentions and then act on those best intentions. They are attentive and smart, and they take care of their buildings and tenants. But there are also plenty of landlords out there that aren't as attentive. They don't mean well. And their buildings show it. As a result, tenants can suffer because these negligent landlords fail to make necessary safety improvements or don't fix problems that are apparent and clear.
Tenants are at a disadvantage on their own because they likely don't know the ins and outs of premises liability law, nor may they be aware of their own rights in such a situation. But if a dangerous condition on your premises causes injury to you, then you should consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
Premises liability cases often involve circumstances that cause serious injuries. There are cases where fatal injuries even occur. When dilapidated buildings, loose carpeting, busted stairways, unsafe shelving and many other potential circumstances lead to these injuries, the victims or their loved ones need to consider the legal options that are available to them. A premises liability could hold the negligent landlord responsible.
