Failure to properly repair the inside or outside of your apartment can lead to your apartment complex or landlord to being responsible for any injuries you suffer. This duty to keep your safe extends to your friends and family who are visiting you. In fact this legal requirement extends to anyone at your apartment complex for a lawful purpose, such as a repair man or mail man.
To recover for a injury, for example a fall, you and your attorney have to work together to show to the court or insurance company that the owner of the property should have been aware of the problem that injured you and should have fixed it.
This even includes a duty to prevent you from being a victim of a violent crime that could have been prevented with adequate security. There may be a case against your landlord if strangers can enter and exit your apartment complex without going through a gate or security, if there are not working cameras, or generally the security is in such a terrible state that it is if your apartment is inviting criminals to come into your complex and prey on the residents and their guests.
If your landlord does not properly take care of your apartment complex and you are injured because of it, you are entitled to recover your medical bills, lost wages, and money damages for your pain and suffering.
