When a landlord’s actions or negligence result in emotional distress for the tenant, they may be held liable for their misconduct. Landlord liability for emotional distress typically arises from actions such as:
– Failure to maintain a safe and habitable living environment
– Harassment or intimidation of tenants
– Retaliation against tenants for asserting their rights
– Invasion of privacy
– Failure to address health and safety hazards
