Premises liability actions have traditionally involved "slip and fall" or "trip and fall" causes of action. Premises liability is not, however, limited to such causes of action and includes, among other things, construction accidents, dog bite cases, and injuries caused by the negligent or willful conduct of third persons on the premises involved.

The fundamental principle under California Law is that everyone is responsible, not only for the result of his or her willful acts, but also for an injury occasioned to another by his or her lack of ordinary care or skill in the management of his or her property or person, is applicable to the landlord's liability to the tenant. The landlord owes a tenant a duty of reasonable care in providing and maintaining the rented premises in a safe condition.
