The property that I rent out has “caused” an injuy to the tenant. Can a tenant make a claim against a landlord for this?
In some circumstances, a landlord may be liable for defects on the property rented out which cause personal injury to his tenants (and in some cases to others, lawfully at the property). Most arrangements relating to residential property create a lease (whether oral or written) and a relationship of landlord and tenant is created. The landlord’s duty in relation to hazards on the property or to the condition of the property depends on whether the defects arose due to his own positive actions, and whether the defects occurred before the lease was created or while you were in situ.
