At the Bottaro Law Firm, LLC, we have been blessed to support the rights of the injured. I have served on our trade industry’s board for many years and we were pleased when the state recently passed a new law that should help those of you injured on a landlord’s property. Let’s take a look at this new law and how it can help you.
RI Legislators Pass Amendment to RI Residential Landlord and Tenant Act
Recently, RI lawmakers passed and signed into law an amendment to the Rhode Island Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.
This amendment now requires landlords to obtain and have in full effect a general liability insurance policy of at least $100,000 for those persons injured on the premises due to the landlord’s negligence. Taking full effect on January 1, 2022, the amendment also requires that landlords present a copy of the insurance to tenants at the beginning of their lease and at any point of renewal.
Why Is The New RI Law Great For Those Injured On Another’s Premises Such As A Slip And Fall Or Dog Bite?
At the Bottaro Law Firm, LLC, we have helped many people like you over the years recover monetary compensation for injuries sustained while on another’s property.
This area of the law is called “premises liability” and includes injuries suffered from falls, trips, and dog bites.
Before this new law, landlords were not required to carry $100,000.00 in coverage for these types of injuries. The result was that those injured from a dangerous condition such as an icy walk, broken step, or dog bite, could be left without help.
This law helps ensure that landlords know to carry insurance to help those injured.
