Liability for an electrical fire started by a maintenance worker in an empty apartment unit can depend on several factors, including the worker's employment status and the nature of their actions. If the worker was acting within the scope of their employment and following procedures, the property management or landlord may be held liable under vicarious liability. However, if the worker was negligent or acted outside their job duties, they could be personally liable. Insurance policies may also play a role in determining liability and covering damages.

Is the utility company liable for damage to electrical weatherhead in severe storm?

Typically, utility companies are not liable for damage to electrical weatherheads caused by severe storms, as such events are considered acts of God or natural disasters. Homeowners are generally responsible for the maintenance and repair of their electrical systems, including the weatherhead. However, if the damage resulted from negligence on the part of the utility company, such as failure to maintain equipment or infrastructure, they may be held liable. It's important to check local regulations and utility policies for specific liability details.

The landlord must give you a copy of your lease within 30 days. There is usually a paper you both sign saying you received it. If it is lost you are not liable to stay in the apartment. On the other hand, this also means the landlord can evict you or raise your rent on you without warning because of no proper documentation.
