No, the landlord isn't responsible for what his tenants do. The tenants are responsible for damage and harassment Take it up with them.

OK thnk you ill have to take him to court and let the judge decide who is responsible I have police reports and they said he is responsible for his tenants actiions they live next to us in our townhouse next unit over and he doesn't respond to anything

We sent letters certified phone calls and he is a layer so he is just a slum lord but thnk again god bless

I agree with the previous poster. The ll isn't responsible for the tenant. And I hate to say it, but if he's an attorney you're wasting your time taking him to court. Possibly not only wasting your time, you most likely will be wasting your money and may wind up paying his court costs. If you hve police reports why wouldn't you sue the tenant for whatever damages you've experienced. They are the ones you could win a judgement against.

The only way the landlord would be responsible for the tenant actions is if he were aware of those actions and those actions violated that tenants lease and he did nothing about it.

From your description this issue is between you and the tenants and the landlord has no responsibility. I also agree with RockinMommy. If you try suing a lawyer, you are likely to lose and waste your time and money.

The owner of an apartment complex is not normally liable for actions of the tennants. If one of the other tennants is damaging your property, you need to report and sue that other tenant.

If the landlord knows of an unsafe condition, and it is his duty or responsibility to fix it, then he may ( and I said MAY) be held liable.

As a owner of property, if someone that lives in that property damages your goods, I am not at all liable for anything.

If the landlord knows of an unsafe condition, and it is his duty or responsiblity to fix it, then he may ( and I said MAY) be held liable.Hello k:

I agree with the Padre. The only way you could WIN a lawsuit against him is if you can PROVE he was "put on notice" (a legal term), that there was a dangerous condition (or tenant), and FAILED to fix it (evict him).

Is this the first time this tenant has done this? Did the landlord do a background check? These are questions that a landlord will be required to answer in court...

IF these are the conditions you find yourself in, he MAY be held liable. But, nothing is a sure thing in court.

So, the bottom line is, if you're done discussing the situation with your landlord, file a small claims lawsuit against him for the damages, and prove your case. Yes, if you don't have a lease he's going to evict you - or at least give you a 30 day notice to vacate.
