7735 Hollywood Blvd. Venture v. Superior Court

In 7735 Hollywood Blvd. Venture v. Superior Court (1981) 116 Cal. App. 3d 901, plaintiff was raped in her apartment and sued her landlord, claiming that it had a duty to provide lighting and security devices sufficient to prevent the attack. The court rejected the claim, on the ground that plaintiff had not alleged sufficient foreseeability of the attack to justify the vague and onerous duty she sought to impose on the defendant. ( Id. at p. 905.)
