Re: Landlord Responsible For Bad Tenants? You cannot be held responsible for someone else's actions and neither can the landlord. 02-22-2007, 09:31 PM #6

Re: When Is A Landlord Responsible For Bad Tenants
Senior Judge,
Thank you for the response. A friend of mine who deals in real estate law told me today that a landlord who is aware that his tenants are potentially injurious or in the habit of breaking the law and does nothing about the behavior may be liable for the damage his tenants cause. There's no statue, but there is case law precedent, which I'll be researching. My friend said that the landlord/tenant arrangement is a business arrangement, and just like the government being able to seize a rented house when tenants use it for drug manufacturing, a landlord can be held liable when he knows his tenants might cause harm and does nothing to safeguard his neighbors. Thanks again,
Erin Rado
