Who is liable if the maintenance worker started an electrical fire in a empty apartment unit?
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.
