Property defects that were property owner's duty to repair can cause property owner to be liable {liability, home} for injuries to tenants or guests. Such defects depend on property type and lease terms. If owner did not know defects, property owner is not liable. States can require property owners to keep property in compliance with local building codes. Property owners are responsible for public areas, but leases can exclude liability for injuries in public areas.
