Suppose the apartment complex has a pool without a fence around it. If your state requires fencing around the pool, and a child drowns there, the landlord can be held liable for the child’s wrongful death. Suppose the landlord agrees to let the tenant keep a dog in the apartment, but one day the dog gets out and mauls a small child. Is the landlord liable for the child’s injuries? The landlord can be held liable only if it can be shown that the landlord had actual knowledge of the dog’s presence and its vicious nature. In certain circumstances the landlord can be held liable for injuries to tenants or their guests resulting from altercations with other tenants. A landlord has a duty to keep its tenants reasonably safe from assaults by other tenants. Suppose one tenant physically assaults another tenant several times. The victimized tenant reports the assaults to the managers on at least six occasions. The managers assured her they would take care of the problem, but nothing is ever done.
