What is an individual’s duty of care as a “possessor of the land”? In Iowa, if a person that owns or possesses property permits a third person to come onto the premises, he is under a duty of care to reasonably control the conduct of that person. This means that the owner or possessor must prevent the entrant from intentionally harming others. The Iowa Court of Appeals recently examined this issue, bringing to light a possessors duty to control the actions of tenants upon the possessors property. If the landlord knows that the tenant is harming the property rights of adjacent landowners and does nothing to modify the tenant’s conduct or terminate the lease, the landlord can be held liable along with the tenant. The court’s opinion is a victory for the protection of private property rights, and will help reduce land-use conflicts in Iowa.

"If the landlord knows that the tenant is harming the property rights of adjacent landowners and does nothing to modify the tenant’s conduct or terminate the lease, the landlord can be held liable along with the tenant" Can you not read, it state's adjacent landowners! As to plagiarism, this information is provided freely from the Iowa State Bar Association. If you do not understand why the building owner/landlord would be liable, then perhaps you can give a 'citation' why the building owner/landlord would not be liable!

I read it but disagreed with the opinion since the case didn't support the assertion.
1. Plagiarism is copying somebody else's work and presenting as your own without giving credit to the creator of the work.
2. It is a common misconception that anything published on the Internet is freely available for reproduction without citing the work.
3. The Iowa Bar Association takes the additional step of using the copyright symbol on all of their web pages.
4. A search of the Iowa Bar site for the the first to words of what you copied provides no results. http://www.iowabar.org/searchsite.cfm?searchvalue=what+is&submit=+Search+
5. Here is the original article: http://www.calt.iastate.edu/landentrants.html
6. The article and the case have nothing to do with LL responsibilities for the actions of their Ts on or off the property of the LL.
