Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Liability and security deposit
The movers damaged the elevator when they were moving my belongings and the cost was quite high. The landlord kept my security deposit to pay for these damages. Am I liable for the damage caused by a third party even though they entered the premises upon my request?
Thank you.

Probably, but the moving company then becomes liable to you.
