Mora v. Baker Commodities, Inc

In Mora v. Baker Commodities, Inc. (1989) 210 Cal. App. 3d 771, where an employee of the tenant was seriously injured when part of the refrigeration system containing ammonia gas exploded, the court stated: "A landlord cannot be held to be responsible for all dangers inherent in a dangerous business. If the property or equipment necessary for the functioning of the property, such as a refrigeration system, was safe when transferred to the tenant, used in the manner for which it was intended and the lessor/owner has given up control of the property, the commercial landlord cannot be held responsible for accidents occurring after the property is transferred." (Id. at p. 780.)
