Frequently asked questions

How is landlord negligence proven?

You must show that the landlord knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and did not fix it. Prior communications and other tenants' statements can help.

What compensation may apply?

Medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and, in cases of especially serious negligence, other damages. Every case depends on its facts.
