A landlord is liable only for negligence in failing to remedy defects in, or in the improper management of, the water system under his control, which result in damage to the personal property of a tenant. 52 C.J.S. Landlord & Tenant § 423(4)(e) (1968). This general rule does not extend, however, to the point that the landlord must keep a water system in such a state of repair that absolutely no damage will occur to the property of the tenant, absent negligence or misfeasance. Id. The Tenant in this case did not ground their case in negligence.
