“Common areas” which are used by more than one tenant ordinarily would be in the control of the landlord and the landlord must maintain them in a reasonable safe condition or be liable for damage resulting from the failure to do so. Peterson v. Brune, 273 S.W.2d 278, 280 (Mo.1954). However, a landlord is not ordinarily liable for injuries resulting from a defective condition in part of the premises not reserved by the landlord for common use of two or more tenants, but are demised to a particular tenant. Gray v. Pearline, 328 Mo. 1192, 43 S.W.2d at 805. On the undisputed facts the porch in question was not a common area. The trial court did not error in granting summary judgment for defendants. The judgment is affirmed. PUDLOWSKI, P.J., and CRANDALL, J., concur.
