What liabilities might a landlord incur if their property is not up to code?
If your hot water heater falls during an earthquake and the resulting broken gas line causes a fire, you could be liable for any and all of the tenant’s losses resulting from that fire. If a leaky roof results in water damage to the tenant’s property, you could be liable for any and all of the tenant’s losses related to water intrusion. All agents at Rancho Mesa Properties are familiar with the “Landlord” safety laws and help our clients meet and understand them through individual consultation and biannual inspection reports.
