Landlord Liability for Injuries

Landlord liability for injuries refers to the legal responsibility a landlord has if a tenant or visitor gets hurt on the property due to unsafe conditions. If the landlord knew or should have known about a hazardous issue—like a broken stair or a leaking roof—and did not address it, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries. Tenants have the right to a safe living environment, and if injuries occur because the landlord neglected necessary repairs or maintenance, the landlord may face legal claims for damages or medical expenses.
