  • At what point is a landlord held responsible for an injury?


It must be proven the landlord was negligent in property maintenance. To prove negligence, maintenance must be shown to be the responsibility of the landlord. A failure on the part of the landlord must be shown. The cost of repairs should not cause hardship or be an economic burden. The injury was a direct result of the unfixed problem.
  • For maintenance and repairs, how may a landlord reduce costs?


A plethora of issues can be prevented by keeping the property in ideal condition. Implement checklists, ask clients to inform you of problems immediately, log every repair incident, conduct repairs as soon as possible, and work closely with tenants to catch issues which may have been missed.
