From the supplier: The California Supreme Court ruled in Alcaraz v. Vece that a landlord could have liability for property a landlord controls without owning, clearing the way for an action by the tenant of an apartment complex who was injured when stepping on a broken water meter box. The box was located in a strip of municipal land right by the complex. The court ruled the landlord should take reasonable care to protect the tenant, even though the landlord did not own the meter box.
