Why We’re Asking:

Content: Unless you have contracted someone to do work and that work was done incorrectly, you have no one to blame but yourself if your well-being is compromised because of your home’s condition. In a rental situation, that’s not necessarily true. To find out how both parties can protect themselves and work together to make sure home conditions are safe, we’re turning to our panel of legal professionals. It’s time to weigh in. If a tenant sustains injury on the property, is there insurance available to protect the landlord? If a tenant is injured on the property owned by the landlord, is the landlord held liable? What if the injury occurs inside the property? What type of damages is a landlord required to cover? Is there ever a situation where a personal injury lawyer should handle a case involving an injury on a rental property? We’re excited to hear back from our legal professionals.
