Are Landlords Liable for Personal Injuries to Their Tenants? ​
​
Generally, you can be held legally responsible for injuries from dangerous, or unmaintained conditions.  If a tenant has reported any dangerous conditions, and you have not made any attempts to remedy them, you can (and probably will) be held liable.

Examples of liability may include:
  • Not fixing a dangerous condition in a timely manner.
  • Fixing a dangerous condition but doing so in a careless manner.
  • Not bringing a dangerous condition to the attention of the tenant.
  • Violating safety laws.
  • Allowing tenants to have pets, and the pet hurts another tenant you are technically responsible.
Note:  A tenant can file a personal injury lawsuit or claim against the landlord’s insurance company for medical bills, lost earnings, pain and other physical suffering, permanent physical disability and disfigurement, and emotional distress.  A tenant can also sue for damage to personal property that results from faulty maintenance or unsafe conditions.

​Examples of negligence include:
If there was a previous incident on or in the property, and you did not inform the new tenant, you could be liable if the same incident occurs again without your having taken adequate precautions.
