How to prove a landlord's liability for a child's injury through latent defects

A landlord may be held liable for the injuries to a child tenant on the premises due to the landlord's negligence, which caused the injury as a result of an inherently dangerous condition. For example, if a landlord is aware of the dangerous or unhealthy condition of the premises arising from the latent defects, it is the landlord's duty to disclose such fact, and failure to do so or concealment of the defect may constitute negligence that renders the landlord liable for the resulting injuries. Therefore, if a landlord is aware of the hazardous condition of the premises arising from the latent defects, it is the landlord's duty to disclose the dangerous condition to the tenant, and failure to do so or concealment of the defect may constitute negligence that renders the landlord liable for resulting injuries. Additionally, a landlord who does not disclose the condition which poses an unreasonable risk of bodily harm to anyone on the premises is liable for harm caused to the tenant or others on the land with the consent of the tenant if the landlord knows of the condition and realizes the risk involved. Furthermore, liability may arise if the landlord has reason to believe that the injured party will not discover the dangerous condition or realize the risk, and if the injured party does not know of the condition or the risk involved.
