Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Re: Rental Property

You could be, it depends if you did somethin or failed to do something you reasonably should have that caused the leak. The isse of notice is dependent on the issue of time. If the condition occurred over a period of time rather than the result of a sudden event as a landlord you have the duty of inspection and you are subject to constructive notice. Fault must still be proven, but you can't just turn a blind eye to problems that occur on your property.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
