Property owners, including landlords, managers, and business operators, have a legal responsibility to take reasonable steps to protect individuals on their premises from foreseeable criminal activity.
This duty is particularly critical for businesses like hotels, motels, and apartment complexes, especially those situated in areas with higher crime rates.
These property owners and businesses should implement reasonable precautions to deter crime and protect their guests, tenants, and visitors. Such measures may include the following:
When responsible parties fail to take adequate security measures and a crime occurs, victims may have grounds for a negligent security claim. These cases are often intricate and can involve various factors, including:
Tragically, lives are often endangered when property owners disregard the safety and security of those on their premises.
For instance, if an apartment complex ignores repeated requests for lock repairs, and a tenant is subsequently harmed due to the faulty lock, the property owner should be held responsible for their negligence.
Similarly, hotels that are aware of potential threats to their guests have a duty to warn them and implement preventative measures.
