tenant said this countertop corner is a 'hazard'. Silliness

Good riddance. Tenant just moved out, but she was giving off litigious vibes during move out inspection, especially when she said that original laminate countertop is a 'hazard' because her toddler granddaughter hit her head on the corner multiple times, and that I should notify my insurance company. (notify for what?!)

I felt my blood pressure rise when she said that. 

This kind of tenant is scary; the kind who would sue you for slip and fall.

I hope you guys never get someone like this.

While we're at it, are wall outside corners a hazard too because you can't walk straight and bump into them?

Take a look at these countertop corners, original countertop from 1966. 

Look at all the walking space around them. Are they a hazard?

Remember that while it’s free to threaten to sue someone, to actually sue costs money. I think it’s highly unlikely for it to actually go anywhere. I wouldn’t worry about it, especially for a countertop that’s installed that way in a million other houses.
