Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I am a little unclear as to what you need to cover yourself from? If the wall falls and injures someone, it is your landlord's problem, not yours. You have notified the property manager, she has seen the problem and is not really in a position (legally) to opine that the wall is safe (unless she happens to be a contractor with special expertise in block wall construction and maintenance). The only other thing I would suggest is to put it in writing to the property manager - that you feel this represents a dangerous condition on the property, and that you want the property manager to advise the homeowner that this needs to be addressed immediately. I would not be concerned, if I were you, that you will somehow be held liable for any damages that may result. As a final note, make sure that you have a renter's insurance policy, and that it includes coverage for liability.
