Landlord Premises Liability Building Slip, Trip and Falls Claims

In a slip and fall case, the law will determine if the landlord or property owner took necessary actions to ensure property safety.

The term “slip and fall” is used to describe a case where a person slips or trips and falls as the result of negligence of the property owner.

Slips and falls in a building, have included:

• slippery, wet floors
• abrupt changes in floor elevations
• poor lighting
• broken or missing stair railings
• torn carpets
• defective stairs.

Dangerous conditions outside a building can include broken and uneven sidewalks, potholes, a sink in the ground, ice or snow on the ground, faulty stairs and hand railings.

Sidewalk cracks and uneven ground also can be a cause of premises trip and fall hazard.

Who’s Responsible for My Slip and Fall Injuries?

Slip and fall claims are not black and white. So many factors need to be determined if a tenant or third party suffers a slip and fall injury on a rental property.

The most important question will be, did the landlord / property owner act reasonably and carefully to prevent the possibility of a hazardous slip and fall accident?

It must be proven that the landlord was aware of the hazardous conditions and did nothing to protect his tenants or any third parties.

What determines if a landlord or property owner was aware, careless and liable of hazardous environment.

• The landlord created the hazardous area.
• The landlord or owner was aware of the hazardous area and did nothing to fix the situation.
• The landlord or owner let time go by and did nothing to correct a foreseeable hazardous situation before the slip and fall accident happened.
• Did the Landlord violate any building code statute that may of contributed to a slip and fall?

For example if a tenant falls down the stairs of an apartment that has no handrails, this could possibly be a code violation against the landlord or property owner.

In an event that someone slip and fall in or around a property it would be wise to hire a  slip and fall attorney that will establish liability on the part of the negligent property, landlord or property owner.

NY Tenant Law- My lease expired, i need more time to fine another place.?

My lease is expiring on the first but I still have not found a place to live. The landlord already rented my apartment to someone else. I thought by law I had at least an extra week to find a place, is that true? Is there a website where I can find this information? This is for MANHATTAN, NY.
Thank you for your answers, if you can add a website or something so I know for sure it applies to NY law that would be great.

Either-you or your landlord must have communicated that the lease wouldnt be renewed…He did what he had to do and re-rented..If you hold-over past the first he can sue you for damages—-you have no rights here.Sorry….Read your lease and see what it call s for in case of a hold-over situation.
