But like any other business proprietor or owner of property, the landlord is not an insurer of a tenant's safety. (Riley v. Marcus (1981) 125 Cal. App.3d 103, 109 [177 Cal. Rptr. 827]; Rogers v.

Rptr. 534, 577 P.2d 669][, superseded by statute as stated in Strang v. Cabrol (1984) 37 Cal.3d 720, 724 (209 Cal. Rptr. 347, 691 P.2d 1013)]; Riley, supra, at p. 109.)
