Diane Ray v. Tampa Windridge Associates

LEHAN, Judge. We reverse the summary judgment entered for defendants in this suit for personal injuries suffered by plaintiff tenant at the hands of an intruder at the apartment complex in which plaintiff leased an apartment. Defendants are the landlords and the managing agent of the complex. The injuries are alleged to have been from a rape of plaintiff which was allegedly the proximate result of, among other things, inadequate locks provided on plaintiff's apartment in violation of, among other things, the statutory obligation of a landlord under section 83.51(2)(a), Florida Statutes (1985), to ""make reasonable provisions for . . . locks . . . .""
