There are many hazards and dangerous conditions that can exist in rental properties that could ultimately lead to injuries. Below, we will review some of these potential risks:

• Slip hazards, caused by floor material that is too slippery when wet, leaks, etc.
• Trip hazards, caused by uneven flooring, broken concrete, exposed tree roots, potholes, uneven stairs, etc.
• Lead poisoning hazards, caused by chipping paint, lead-based paint throughout the property, contaminated water, etc.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning hazards, caused by poorly installed appliances, poorly maintained appliances, lack of carbon monoxide detectors, etc.
• Fire hazards, caused by a lack of smoke detectors, faulty wiring, no fire-rated garage door, gas leaks, etc.
• Roof/ceiling collapse hazards, caused by poorly maintained roof/ceiling, overloaded roof, etc.

All of these hazards can potentially lead to incidents that could leave unsuspecting tenants injured. Although every incident is different, tenants may sustain traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, respiratory issues, burns, and more.

If you were injured on the property that you were renting from Tricon Residential, it is essential that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. You could possible sue the company for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered.

All landlords – even when they are companies – have a duty to keep their properties habitable. California’s Warranty of Habitability (found in Civil Code §1941.1), outlines the amenities that all rental units must have. Some of these include the following: roofs, walls, doors, and windows for waterproofing and weatherproofing; plumbing, gas, electric, heating, sewage that meet legal code (and maintenance to these systems); hot water and cold water; floors, stairs, and railings that are stable; a property reasonably free of debris, garbage, and pests. If the landlord is not keeping the property habitable, then there is a breach of contract – and the landlord can be sued. In general, this applies to dangerous conditions found within the rentals.

What if an injury occurs? If an injury occurs because of the landlord’s failure to keep their premises free of hazards, injured tenants can sue. Based on the concept of premise liability, property owners have a duty to routinely inspect their premises to be able to identify and address any dangerous conditions that could lead to incidents and could result in serious injuries. Tenants also have the right to sue under the concept of premise liability.
