In Pennsylvania, a landlord may owe duties to a tenant’s guest. Each case is unique and should be evaluated by a lawyer with experience handling negligence cases against landlords.
In general, landlords have a duty to maintain common-access areas, such as parking lots, hallways, stairways, laundry rooms, etc. Failure to maintain, failure to correct a known defect and failure to provide adequate security are common claims a tenant may make against a landlord.
In cases involving a landlord’s liability for sex abuse which occurs on the premises, liability often attaches for failure to provide adequate security and/or hiring a known abusive employee. Read more about landlord liability for sexual assaults.
In addition to the landlord, other parties may be liable, such as:
- actual property owner,
- property management company,
- security company, and/or
- parking lot maintenance/management company.
If you had an accident at an apartment complex, call a negligent security & injury lawyer to discuss the facts of your case and determine the viability of a civil lawsuit.
