Salem, to explain basic legal principles, not to provide leqal advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. Landlord Not Liable for Injury on Leased Premises Lyle, who owned a business building, leased space to Tom who operated a small retail store. The premises rented by Tom included an office which could be reached by ascending a stairway, One day Carl, one of Tom's customers, was mounting the stairway when a step collapsed. Carl fell and broke his arm. Can Carl sue Tom and Lyle? There is little doubt con cerning Carl's rights against Tom since business guests can recover from proprietors when they are injured as a result of building defects. Generally speaking, however, a landlord is not liable to Open Tonight 'Til C) 40 off! Giant Tru-Cold 2 -door combination - - - i lL .

This general rule has its ex ceptions and Lyle will be re sponsible if one of them ap plies. Must Know Defect Exists If the landlord, for example, knows that a defect exists and the tenant has no way of knowing it, the landlord Is liable for any injuries suffer ed as a result of the flaw. Therefore, if Lyle knew that the step was broken and fail ed to inform Tom, Lyle is li able to Carl. Some courts have held the landlord liable when the premises h a v e a hazardous condition and the landlord knows that the tenant will op erate a business that is open to the general public on the premises. Most courts, how ever, restrict the landlord's re sponsibility to the situation where the place will be used by large crowds such as thea ters and auditoriums. Lyle will be liable under this rule if the court follows the more liberal view. Promise in Lease Lyle will clearly be liable if the lease contains a promise by Lyle to keep the premises in good repair and he defec tively repaired the steps. Nor mally a landlord does not have to repair leased premises, but if he agrees to repair in the lease he is liable to persons injured as a result of the ex istence of structural defects created by the landlord's neg ligence. If Carl can prove that Lyle retained control over the stair way during the term of the lease he could recover from Lyle. Landlord's, however, normally only impliedly re tain control over parts of the leased premises used by all tenants (hallways, elevators, fire escapes) and the outside of buildings leased to more than one person. Since the stairway was located in that part of the building leased to Tom, Lyle would probably not be liable under this rule. Veterinarian to Report to Short . Salem - J. F. Short, director of the state department of ag riculture, has announced that he has arranged for the state veterinarian to report direct to him on a temporary basis, effective immediately.
