Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider
Michigan Law Review
At Common Law. According to the rules of the common law a landlord is under no legal duty to repair the demised premises during the term unless he expressly agrees to do so. It therefore may be stated, as a general rule, that he is liable neither to the tenant nor to the tenant's invitees for injuries caused by the premises falling into a state of disrepair during the term.
