Orlando Rental Apartment Fall or Injury Lawyer
Apartment complexes and rental properties should be maintained to provide a safe environment for tenants and guests. Unfortunately, when landlords or property managers neglect repairs or ignore safety hazards, serious injuries can occur. If you’ve been hurt in an apartment or rental property accident, an experienced Orlando rental apartment fall or injury lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you hold negligent parties accountable and pursue full compensation for your damages.
Understanding Apartment and Rental Property Accidents
Property owners in Orlando have a legal duty to ensure that their rental units, stairways, hallways, and parking areas are free from dangerous conditions. When landlords cut corners or fail to perform regular inspections, tenants can suffer falls, burns, electrical injuries, or even assaults. Spencer Morgan Law represents injured renters and visitors, helping them recover from injuries caused by poor maintenance or unsafe property conditions.
Common Causes of Apartment and Rental Property Injuries
- Slippery or wet floors
- Broken handrails or loose stair treads
- Faulty lighting in hallways or parking lots
- Defective smoke detectors or fire hazards
- Uneven sidewalks or potholes
- Negligent security or lack of locks
Our team investigates every detail of your case to determine who is responsible and to collect the evidence needed to prove negligence.

- Report the incident to your landlord or property manager immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue my landlord for unsafe conditions?
Yes. If your landlord failed to correct or warn about a dangerous condition that caused your injury, you may have a valid claim.
What if I complained about a hazard and nothing was done?
Documented complaints that were ignored can strengthen your case and demonstrate negligence.
Can guests file a claim too?
Yes. Visitors who are injured on rental property due to unsafe conditions can also pursue compensation.
How long do I have to file a claim?
You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a premises liability claim in Florida.
What if my lease includes a liability waiver?
A waiver does not protect landlords from negligence or failure to comply with state safety laws.
