I think in this modern world all responsible people agree that a product/service needs to be safe and best endeavor need to be followed to ensure that this is the case. However I do think that Australia in particular is driving itself out of business with the huge costs imposed by WHS laws and ambulance chasing lawyers. Totally agree with Acorn that things need to be maintained and that in the case of rental properties that is the owners responsibility. However it is also the responsibility of the tenant to identify problems to the owner so that an assessment can be made on what needs to be done if anything at all. So often a tenant can complain about something and there is actually nothing wrong with it.
