We find these authorities persuasive and now adopt Restatement (Second) of Property § 17.6. The rule provides the tenant a remedy, supported by public policy, through which he or she may recover for injuries caused by the landlord's breach of the RLTA. As the Shroades court noted with respect to Ohio's version of the RLTA, the preventative remedies contained in the statute may be "grossly inadequate" to compensate tenants for physical injuries caused by the landlord's breach of the statute. Shroades, 427 N.E.2d at 777-78.
