She has medical bills and lost wages. As the home renter, am I liable for her injury claims, or is it the homeowners liability?
ATTORNEY ANSWER:
That depends upon a number of factors. Did you enter into a lease with the landlord? If you did, does the lease state whether the landlord or the tenant is liable for the injuries to a guest of the tenant? Did the landlord carry homeowner’s insurance? Did you, as the tenant, carry renter’s insurance? The lease creates contractual obligations between the landlord and tenant which may govern where there is liability. In the absence of a lease, the landlord is still required to provide a safe, habitable environment and if the landlord does not, he may be liable for negligence. Each situation is fact specific.
