Presumption Against Liability for Owners and Principal Operators of Multifamily Residential Properties

The bill adds a requirement that crimes must be reported to the property owner or operator before the owner can be denied the presumption against liability. Previously, the law only required crimes to have occurred at the property, without specifying that the owner needed to know about them. This change ensures owners cannot be held liable for crimes they had no knowledge of, while maintaining the protection for properties with a history of serious crimes that were reported to management.
