Counsel also argued that charging unreasonably high rent constituted negligence, stating, "Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care to prevent harm to oneself or others. [¶] A person can be negligent by acting or failing to act. A person is negligent if he or she does something that a reasonably careful person would not do in the same situation or fails to do something that a reasonable, careful person would do in the same situation. [¶] "Well, what's reasonable care? You maintain your lots. You maintain your property. When you set rents, you set a reasonable rent. Because, you know, if you don't, you're going to cause harm. That's what a reasonably prudent person does. ... All these things are ... acts of negligence." (Italics added.)
