Does a property owner have to take security precautions?
An owner of a private residence is not required to take security measures to protect a social guest who visits their property.
It depends on the nature of the property and the identity of the person who is attacked. An owner of a private residence is not required to take security measures to protect a social guest who visits their property. However, a commercial property owner whose property is open to customers and the public at large is required to take reasonable security precautions if it is reasonably foreseeable that those who come on their property may be subject to a violent criminal attack.
