Columbus GA and the Liability of landlords

For the landlord to be liable for the injuries you suffered from slipping or tripping and falling on someone elses property, one of the following should be true:
• The owner of the premises or an employee should have caused the spill, worn or torn spot, or other slippery or dangerous surface or item to be underfoot.
• The owner of the premises or an employee should have known of the dangerous surface but did not take necessary action.
• The owner of the premises or an employee must have known of the dangerous surface since a “reasonable” person taking care of the property would have known and removed or repaired it.
Liability in such cases is generally decided by common sense. Courts decide if the owner or occupier of property was careful by determining whether the steps the owner or occupier took to make the property safe were reasonable.
When deciding a property owners “reasonableness,” the law lays emphasis on whether the owner makes regular and thorough efforts to keep the property safe and clean.

In order to show that a property owner knew of a dangerous condition, it must be demonstrated that:
• The owner caused the condition;
• The owner was aware the condition existed and negligently failed to correct it; or
• The condition existed for such a period of time that the owner ought to have discovered and repaired it prior to the slip and fall incident in question.
