Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities
questions & answers
Question: A tree in the apartment building parking lot fell over and damaged my car. Are the property managers responsible for the damage because of the tree? They maintain the landscape.
Answer: The answer to the question of whether or not the property management company and/or the owner of the building will be held legally liable (and therefore financially responsible for providing compensation whether directly or through their insurance) for damage caused to a vehicle in the parking lot by a fallen tree will depend on whether or not that damage was a result of a breach of duty on the part of the property management company and/or the owner of the building. Only if they did or failed to do something that they should or should not have done will a court of law hold them responsible. The specific facts will be very important.
