Georgia Court of Appeals
Sidhi Investment Corporation v. Vicki Lee Thrift
A15A1678
March 10, 2016
Reversed
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The legal issue was whether an out-of-possession landlord is liable to third parties for injuries caused by a tenant's negligence under Georgia law. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's decision, finding that because the lease required the tenant to maintain the premises and Sidhi had fully parted with possession, it was not liable.
