Injuries, assaults and vandalism can occur due to faulty or neglected security measures.

Types of Faulty Security

Property owners are responsible for providing a reasonable level of security. Common forms of faulty security include:

  • The lock on a laundry room door at an apartment complex does not work properly, allowing thieves to enter the premises and attack the people inside
  • The gate to a secured community does not close completely, allowing nonresidents to enter, either to rob homes or cause mischief
  • The lights at a public parking lot are burnt out, encouraging attacks on people and property

Responsibility of Property Owners

If you have been the victim of an assault or injury resulting from faulty security, you have rights. Landlords and property managers have the obligation to keep their security measures in good working order. They must ensure that locks function properly and security doors/gates close completely. They must maintain all lighting by replacing burnt-out bulbs and repairing malfunctioning fixtures.

Even if a landlord or property manager is not notified that a problem exists, they may bear responsibility for accidents, assaults and injuries that occur when security measures are inadequate or in disrepair. However, if it is necessary to bring suit against a landlord or property manager, assistance from an experienced Orlando personal injury attorney is needed, especially if your injuries are serious or life threatening.
