Evans, GA premises owner liability
Trespasser

A trespasser is a person who enters the premises of another in the absence of an express or implied invitation, for his or her own purposes, and when not performing of any duty to the owner. It is often not necessary for the premises owner to show that the trespasser had unlawful intent in making such an entry.

When premises owners are not aware of the presence of trespassers, they often have no duty to inform a trespasser of any dangers or to make their premises safe for the benefit of a trespasser. If a premises owner is aware of the presence of trespassers, the premises owner may be expected to exercise ordinary care in relation to a trespasser’s safety.

Public Roads and Sidewalks
Premises owners are usually charged with clearing public sidewalks in front of their premises, and to take care of their premises so as not to pose a risk to the public who are passing by on the public street or sidewalk.

Non-Delegability of Duties
The obligations of the premises owner are usually non-delegable. When the defendant remains in possession, the defendant cannot escape responsibility simply since he contracted with a company to provide maintenance. For example, a business will be liable for the condition of its parking lot, although it has contracted with a landscaping company to maintain the parking lot and to clear snow and ice. A landlord continues to be liable for the condition of the housing it owns, even if it has contracted with a management company to provide all service and maintenance connected with the housing.
