Accident Injury Claims for Tenants

A tenant is a temporary occupant of a premise area in your house. The tenant is entitled to get proper living conditions against the payment of a rent. The living condition which also includes the state of the building and its accompanying factors should be such that will not pose a threat of life or injury to any person of the tenant family.

This is a condition that is also the sole responsibility of the landlord and there will be grounds on which he can be accountable in case of the occurrence of any negative consequence on the tenant and his family members.
