What Happens When a Commercial Landlord is Sued for An Injury on the Leased Premises?

While it is possible for a commercial landlord to be liable to a third party for injuries caused by a dangerous condition in a tenant’s leased premises, most commercial landlords take steps to shift this potential liability to the tenant. Usually, the commercial landlord will require the tenant to maintain general liability insurance for the leased premises and name the landlord as an addition insured. Commercial landlords also usually require the tenant to indemnify the landlord for injuries to visitors to the leased premises. In any event, a commercial landlord or tenant who is being sued should immediately contact a commercial real estate litigation attorney.
