The New York State Attorney General’s Office outlines in detail your rights as a tenant in a multi-person dwelling, which is also referred to as an apartment complex. At the Dietrich Law Firm P.C., we understand your legal rights and will hold your landlord accountable if their negligence caused you to suffer a personal injury.

To obtain compensation, a landlord must be negligent and that negligence must lead to your injury. Some elements that may determine liability include:

1. Whether the dangerous condition that caused your injury fell under the landlord’s responsibility according to the terms of the lease agreement;
2. Whether the landlord knew or should have known of the dangerous condition;
3. Whether the landlord made reasonable efforts to remedy a dangerous condition;
4. Whether the landlord gave proper warning regarding the dangerous condition, such as signs, cones or other markers; or
5. Whether the injury was foreseeable by the landlord, yet he or she knowingly ignored the dangerous condition.
