What is a Landlord's Duty to a Child Tenant?

Children living in apartment buildings have the highest number of fall injuries. Children have a right to expect that there home is a safe place to live, regardless of whether they own it or lease it. Therefore, landlords have a responsibility and duty to ensure the premises is safe for all of their tenants, regardless of their age. A West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer will advise a plaintiff that a landlord should exercise reasonable care in removing all inherent dangers and protecting a child tenant. Thus, a landlord may be held liable for the injuries of a child tenant as a result of the landlord's negligence. For example, a landlord may be held liable for the death of a child that falls from a negligently maintained balcony, where probative evidence suggests that the landlord was negligent in failing to maintain the balcony and allowing it to become a hazardous condition.
