So what exactly is your question?? The lease portion signed by your daughter as a minor is not a binding contract on her. It would be binding on you if you signed it. If the landlord was negligent in maintaining the fence, he could be liable for paying for your medical expenses and your pain and suffering.

Mr. Marman is correct. Any document signed by a minor is voidable. So if there was a hold harmless clause in the lease it would not be binding on you.

As far as the fence falling on you, if this was caused by the negligence of the landlord or any other third party and your were injured, you would have a right to bring a claim for your personal injuries and damges.
