toward common safety initiatives

Landlords have a civil duty to use "reasonable care" to protect tenants from known, foreseeable criminal activities on their property (e.g., maintaining proper locks, lighting, or vetting on-site employees). 

Landlords are NOT responsible if a tenant with a past criminal record later commits a crime on the property, provided the landlord followed "proper background check procedures."
