With regard to the burden of proof, the trial court charged the jury that “[i]f the defective condition existed before the tenants moved into the apartment, the landlord, not the tenant . . . has the burden of showing, by a fair preponderance of the evidence, a lack of notice or knowledge of the condition. ... If you find the landlord did not have constructive notice at the time the tenants moved in, then you must go on and decide whether the landlord received actual notice. If a defective condition arose after the plaintiffs moved into the apartment, the plaintiffs must show by a fair preponderance of the evidence that the landlord received actual notice of the condition.”
