17-May-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
Hello I stay in a detoirated tenant property, the landlady has sold the place around 7 years back to a builder but since then the builder hase'nt paid anything to the tenants, now in the passing years the condition of the building is turning dangerous ,since the time it has been built it has never been repaired , now the builder says he has no money to pay the tenants and the landlady is least bothered to hire another builder immediately nor ready to keep the building danger free...there are many families staying in the stake of their life & the landlady is renting her flats..Kindly advice
Landlord to be held responsible for an injury on the premises, the landlord or property manager must have been negligent in maintaining the property, and that negligence must have caused the injury. All of the following must be proven for a landlord to be held liable:
• It was the landlord's responsibility to maintain the portion of premises that caused the accident.
• The landlord failed to take reasonable steps to avert the accident.
• Fixing the problem (or at least giving adequate warnings) would not have been unreasonably expensive or difficult.
• A serious injury was the probable consequence of not fixing the problem (the accident was foreseeable).
• The landlord's failure, his negligence caused the tenant's accident.
• The tenant was genuinely hurt.
