A property owner is legally required to maintain their property and keep it free from hazards that could cause accidents, such as providing adequate lighting, repairing any potholes and cracks in sidewalks, ensuring balconies and railings are safe, fixing broken or damaged stairs, removing water, oil or other liquids from floors and walkways, and providing adequate security. When a landlord's negligence results in an accident, a claim can be filed with the property owner's insurance carrier for damages.
