Property owners, property managers and land lords have a responsibility to ensure that safety hazards on their property will not cause harm to tenants and guests alike. There are literally thousands of ways in which the person or management company in charge can violate the standard of care but in our experience the following are some of the most common:

• failure to screen new tenants
• engaging in advertising that overstates security
• failure to follow security procedures
• failure to perform background checks on employees
• failure to seek advice from law enforcement
• failure to provide adequate signage around danger areas
• failure to review safety precautions

If any of these standards of care are not adhered to a civil action can be filed in which a plaintiff will attempt to hold a landlord or property manager liable for money damages for injuries that occur on their rental property. The damages sought can be for both physical and psychological injuries suffered following an injury. The allegation is usually that the landlord contributed to the plaintiff’s injury because of a failure to provide adequate security on the property.
