There are many parties who might be liable for a slip and fall at an apartment complex. These claims are usually brought against the landlord, property owner, or apartment complex manager. Pursuant to California Civil Code §1941, the apartment complex manager (which is typically the property owner or landlord) has a duty to ensure the rental units are tenable. The manager may therefore be held liable for any injuries resulting from inadequate lighting, defective railings, uneven floors, or other dangerous conditions.
