STONE v. CENTER TRUST RETAIL PROPERTIES, INC
Where landlord has obtained judgment for, but has not taken, possession of premises, it owes tenant's guests a duty to inspect for defects at reasonable intervals. Where jury was not instructed as to when landlord's duty to inspect arose or what the required nature of inspections was, or that landlord could only be held liable if inspection would have resulted in discovery of defect resulting in plaintiff's injury, landlord was entitled to new trial.
