888 charsWe find the plaintiff’s argument that his use of the balcony to move furniture was foreseeable and thus created a duty to “warn the tenant that this would not be a prudent way of moving furniture * $ * » †-0 ke without merit. The plaintiff offered no evidence that other tenants had used the balcony to move furniture or that moving furniture in this manner was a common practice for this type of building. As the trial justice aptly observed, the dangers of using a balcony in this fashion were “pretty obvious.” The creation of a duty to warn in this case would unduly expand the scope of the duty imposed by § 34 — 18—22(a) (2), for, as we have explained, a landlord does not ordinarily have a duty to “warn [her] adult tenants of a condition in the portion of the premises used in common by them which is obviously dangerous.” Reek v. Lutz, 90 R.I. 340, 344, 158 A.2d 145, 147 (1960).
