First, you should understand that a landlord is not a guarantor of the safety of his tenants, nor is he liable for every injury that his tenants may suffer on the premises. He may be found liable, however, where personal injuries to tenants are caused by his negligence in caring for the property. The landlord is required to use reasonable care in the upkeep of his apartments and to keep them in reasonably safe condition for his tenants. Failure to use reasonable care in the upkeep of the property may be negligence, for which the landlord can be held liable if a tenant is injured.
