"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.

    You are wrong on all accounts, The information given was free to print if you had reviewed the correct article. You are always looking for some excuse for the landlord not to do something or not be accountable. The article was freely published as originally in 2010 as a public document, on court opinion, of a case involving a landlord and a tenant being held for damages to a neighbor, this case was upheld by the Iowa court system. It is some what a landmark case. No one here can educate you on the law, but as was ask, why don't you prove you side by putting forth some information instead of just whining that someone might be wrong when they have proved their point!

      I am not looking to find excuses. I'm simply trying to verify the source of the information so that I may read it for myself.

      Since I don't seem able to locate the correct article, please provide a direct link to it.

    Disagreeing is you right, you seem to try to shift the point of the discussion from the fact the building owner/landlord can be held responsible for damages to neighbors property by his tenants. The point was made that indeed, this can be done as a course of law. MODERN RULE - DUTY OF OWNER, OCCUPANT OR LESSOR OF PREMISES
    The owner, occupant or lessor of premises is under a duty to exercise ordinary care in the use, maintenance or management of such premises in order to avoid exposing persons or other property to an unreasonable risk of harm. Such duty exists whether the risk of harm is caused by the natural condition of such premises or by an artificial condition created on such premises. Such duty exists even when the unreasonable risk of harm is caused by the criminal conduct of a third person which, in the exercise of reasonable care, is or should be foreseeable or where the owner, occupant or lessor of the premises maintains the property in such a way as to increase the risk of criminal activity. Such duty is owed to persons on the premises and to persons off the premises. A failure to fulfill this duty is negligence.
    The content posted at this site is for educational use and is provided free of charge to individuals. This came from the same content as Sara's. It's free to use and is encouraged as long as it's not used in a way that violates copy right infringement. So you use of the term "Plagiarism" would not apply as such.

      Not shifting the discussion, that is the whole point of the discussion. Whether a LL can be held responsible. Nobody has provided any source that I can verify for their assertions that a LL may be.

      Please provide a direct link for your information so that I can read it for myself.
