Liability of property owners in Richmond Hill GA
Landowners, especially those inviting the public onto their premises, have a duty under the law to use reasonable care to remove or repair slippery surfaces. Landlords generally have an obligation to repair common areas in apartment complexes. Keep in mind that merely because the landlord has a duty to repair the slippery surface, you as a resident can not ignore your own responsibility to use caution. The landlords efforts must only be reasonable in the circumstances but not necessarily perfect. Therefore plowing, shoveling and sand/salt spreading may have small gaps which are still hazards, but does not necessarily mean negligence under the law. Reasonable also means that the landlord must have information of the slippery conditions, and time to deal with them. Merely because the landlord wasnt out spreading sand with the initial few minutes of the first snowflakes, it will not necessarily mean he was negligent. The same basic laws are applicable for owners of stores and businesses. Preventing slip and fall injuries generally needs proper precautions to be taken by both the landowner and the user.
