The tenant is.
The landlord only if he has not fulfilled his obligations. Such as if a tenant gets an electric shock from a plug socket and burns themselves and the electric had not been tested and certified then the landlord would be liable.
Email me if you need any more advice.

In most cases, the tenant is liable and can make a claim against his / her household insurance and a visitor to the tenant's home can claim against the tenant's insurance if a visitor is injured. However, if a tenant can prove that a landlord had failed to make safe a repair, that had been reported, or an agent for the landlord (tradesman) had made a bad repair, left the property unsafe etc. then the landlord is liable as well as the tradesman. Apart from the option to sue for damages, the tenant can also call in the Health and Safety Executive and have the landlord, the tradesman or both criminally prosecuted in the case of negligence. A criminal case can also be brought against a landlord for failing to repair, under the Housing Acts

Depends upon the circumstances. If it's due to his own negligence, then he is clearly liable for his own injuries. If it's an "unavoidable accident" then the tenant again is liable for his own injuries.
The only time that the landlord would be liable would be if he was negligent. Failure to make a timely repair of a hazardous condition that he knew about or should have reasonably known about would be an example where the landlor would be liable.

Depends on how the tenant got injured...............if it was a fault with something on or in the property and it was reported but nothing was done to fix it, then the landlord will be liable.

B. fake. A tenant is deemed reliable, if the third social gathering's accident is led to via the tenant no longer taking precaution to stay away from an accident. Any furnishings or fittings that are deemed to have led to the accident are the household projects of the owner of the valuables and not the tenant. Have a reliable day.

It depends what caused the injury, and how detailed the contract is....if the injury was caused by something that needed to be fixed and that has been reported to you, or something structural. Basically, if a fault of the property caused the injury, and it wasn't just a personal accident, you may be liable....otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

If the tenant brings suit and to avoid the issue of indespensable party dismissal usually everybody and anybody that has anything to do with the property is mentioned. Ask a lawyer

need more facts to determine if the landlord is liable, just because a person is injured on a property does not automatically mean landlord is liable

Depends if you got an electric shock due to faulty wiring then landlord, but a normal injury is down to you, cant blame anyone for that.

Depends on how they got injured.
If the roof collapsed, then the home owner,
if he tripped on his end table, then the tenant,
So.. need more information to give an accurate answer.
