If that logic is true, then I guess that means that if the tenant has any other crazy thing in the home, I'm liable if one of their buddies injures themselves on that too.I'm not saying that isn't possible, but I am questioning how our legal system allows that kind of silliness to go on.A landlord should not be liable for any toy some tenant's friend hurts themselves on.

If they are dumb enough to do something to cause an injury or someone else is injured from something they did and there is legal action, we make a claim against the renters policy, not my homeowners policy.

In the case of the landlord, like any other business, when a client (tenant) does not perform on their fiscal obligations, (i.e pay their rent on-time or kite a cheque) the landlord is injured by the lost opportunity over an above recovery of a dishonoured payment fee.With our commercial tenants - which are not governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, we assess a late fee ($50) and charge interest on overdue accounts at the rate of 1.75%/month.

,My big fear is FIRE, if someone dies or gets injured on my property, i hate lawyers with a passion.... we combat this fear with adding a ridiculous amount of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, not 1, but 2 fire extinguishers, and safety ladders for 2-story houses... just spent $1K on extra supplies last month!  

But I'm very careful to check the recalls on Ikea's dressers -- there have been incidents where children have been injured or died when a dresser they were climbing fell on them.Other reasons that I have not rented to prospective tenants with children is due to the hazards of a fireplace (woodburning -- obvious hazards;  gas fireplace -- can be burned if touching the hot glass; electric fireplace -- with the one in my personal residence, you need to be very careful when removing the glass, as it shatters very easily.)

This group has been so encouraging thus far, thank you allWe're terrified (strong word, but perhaps appropriate for us) of what might happen if a tenant were to injure themselves at our property.

What would you do if after someone signs a lease they become injured and receive a service "animal"?

To apply this to flowers; if the profit a prendre was for flowers and the individual had set up a flower shop, and your denying access to the lawn injured that flower shop, you are liable for the damages to that flower shop.The amount of damages you could be on the hook for are wildly fact dependent.
