Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Maryland

Re: Sueing An Apartment Complex

First, refer to you lease for any duties the landlord has taken on regarding your security. Outside of the existence of such language in the lease, you may not have much of an argument. You will have to show that the complex had a duty to protect against potential carjackers; that the duty was breached; that the failure of the complex to provide adequate lighting was the proximate and legal cause of the carjacking and that there were damages flowing from the breach.
