A landlord has a duty to provide adequate security to its tenants. This duty may encompass properly working locks and intercom systems. The landlord’s failure to fulfill this duty can result in tenants being raped, assaulted or the victim of other crime. If an intruder gains access to an apartment building due to the landlord’s failure to provide adequate security and causes injury to a tenant or tenant’s guest, the victim may be entitled to compensation from the landlord.

If you or a loved one has had such a horrible experience, Sullivan & Brill can assist you by investigating the circumstances of the attack and filing suit against the responsible parties.
