We ran across an interesting personal injury case scenario. This would also tie in with landlord and home owner issues. The scenario is as follows:
A landlord owns two homes with 6 bedrooms combined. The landlord rents out each bedroom to separate tenants. The landlord knew that one tenant has a previous history of violence and drug abuse. An incident occurs where the one tenant broke into another tenants room and ended up seriously hurting that tenant. Now how much liability is given to the tenants and home owner?
We dig deep to find the solution to this problem:
We find that a landlord HAS to do mandatory background and criminal checks (this may vary state to state). But as a landlord this is just good practice. You never know who you may be renting to and as a landlord you can at least run the checks to make sure that the people you are bringing into the home are safe.
Now given this doesnt mean that just because the person had prior history that the it is the land lords fault. Every scenario is different and people cannot control other people.
In every situation in every state is different and the only real way to deal with this or to get get real advice would be to contact your local attorney. An attorney who can give you free consultation.
