When renting a house, who is responsible if someone gets hurt own property?
Answer
It depends on the provisions of the lease. If the person got injured due to a condition created by the owner, the owner is likely responsible, provided he had notice of the condition. If the person was injured inside the house, and the tenant had control of the premises, the tenant may be liable. The question is, does the tenant have renter's insurance? Does the lease require the tenant to have insurance? Who had control of the property at the time of the injury? All of these questions have a bearing on who is liable.
