I injured myself on the river and decided it was time to look toward a more "adult" career, so I settled on nursing school, and was accepted to a few programs.  

@Kevin K.Without knowing more details about the property, it's hard to say anything very specific about the deck or landscaping.If the deck has the potential to injure someone, you definitely need to handle it before putting it on the market regardless of whether you're leasing or selling.

An injured tenant could just sue you personally for negligence in your management of the property.  

I don't injure about price but whether you a friend or a company cones to clean up I would definitely warn them about the possibility of needles lying around.

It is an added expense but it takes away any liabilities of tenants getting injured while shoveling and it keeps them happy to know it is taken care of and they aren't trapped in case of emergency. 

Just be careful to not put yourself at risk for liability if there are children in the home that could get injured by the construction process.

No children were injured.

What would you do if you had kept quiet or taken no action and someone was seriously injured?

Things were smooth sailing until I was injured in March of 2016, ankle syndesmosis, and made the biggest mistake of not preparing for such a scenario.

I have read on some forums some pretty scary stories where the lender may call the mortgage on the landlard, insurance refusing to pay if anything happens, or - god forbid - if anyone got injured, the landlord is liable for manslaughter.
