The following excerpt is from Fletcher v. Hyak & Jade, 2001 BCCA 143 (CanLII):
I have also been referred, by counsel, to a considerable number of cases that have considered the position of landlord and tenant occupiers including Goldmanis v. Mador [1991] B.C.J. No.3049 (Q.L.) (B.C.S.C.) Hodgson v. Christensen [1989] B.C.J. No. 2322 (Q.L.) (B.C.S.C.), and other cases. All consider the respective positions of landlord and tenant occupiers with regard to liability to persons who have allegedly been injured because of a defect on the premises.
