Thnks for the response. No, I didn't notify the landlord about the danger, but can I argue about negligence by the following two points?
1.There was a big storm last week, the apartment management kind of mentioned
that they inspected the suroundings of the property and didn't see anything.
But I am sure the tree was weakened by the storm because I have noticed it
had leaned forward and branches had reached lower after the storm. 2. Everybody
could see that there weren't much of roots at the end of the tree now that
it is kind of out of the ground. Couple years ago, the landlord put up the
parking lot fence closely behind the tree and built a concret curb imedietely
in front of the tree. The construction must have cut off the roots of the
tree.
Please advise
