However, Johnson’s action cannot survive summary judgment because Rufo did not cause Johnson’s injuries. The causation analysis must be based on the principles of negligence because the complaint assert claims for which the underlying basis is negligence. See e.g., G.L.c. 186, §19 (imposing reasonable care obligations on landlord’s duty to repair rented premises); Herman v. Admit One Ticket Agency LLC, 454 Mass. 611, 615 (2009) (c. 93A action requires “casual connection between the injury suffered and the defendant’s unfair or deceptive method, act, or practice”); Doe v. New Bedford Hous. Auth., 417 Mass. 273, 283 (1994) (action for breach of warranty of habitability rests on underlying negligence claim).
