Landlord Negligence
Claim Funding.

Landlord negligence claim funding is case-based legal funding that may be available to qualifying represented claimants with pending civil claims alleging negligent conduct by a landlord or other responsible property party.

Potentially. FCA may review qualifying represented claims individually. Approval, amount, cost, terms and availability depend on the pending claim and jurisdiction.

Depending on applicable law and the facts, claims may involve alleged failures to repair dangerous conditions, maintain common areas, address known hazards, provide legally required security measures or otherwise exercise required care.

No. A maintenance issue alone does not automatically establish negligence. Duty, notice, breach, causation and damages can matter, and the claimant's attorney determines the legal basis of the claim.

Landlord Negligence focuses on alleged failures to exercise required care that cause injury or compensable harm. Habitability Claims focus on whether rental conditions allegedly failed to meet legally required residential living standards. A matter can involve both theories.

Potentially. Claims involving stairs, hallways, walkways, parking areas or other shared spaces may be relevant when counsel determines the facts support a negligence claim.

Applicants generally need to be represented by an attorney because FCA coordinates with counsel to verify the pending claim and information relevant to funding review.

No. FCA does not determine landlord liability, inspect properties or provide legal advice. FCA evaluates whether a qualifying represented pending claim may be eligible for funding.

Available funding varies by matter and may depend on anticipated recovery, alleged damages, liability, case status, available recovery sources, existing advances and other claim-specific factors.

FCA reviews qualifying represented matters across its service network. Landlord duties, negligence law and legal funding availability vary by jurisdiction.
