And second, Miller argues that she is entitled to bring an action for her injuries under the URLTA. Under the URL-TA, a landlord has a duty to “[m]ake all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition[.]” KRS 383.595(l)(b). A separate section of the URLTA grants an aggrieved party the right to recover damages. KRS 383.520(1). Thus, Miller contends that the URLTA, when read as a whole, abrogates the common-law rule which immunizes a landlord from liability for injuries caused by defects in the leased premises.
