Description
In an action of tort by a tenant and his minor child for the alleged negligent installation by the mother of the defendant landlords of a screen in the low kitchen window of the apartment rented, through which the child fell and was injured, evidence warranted findings that the defendants' parents, the original owners, had made an agreement with the adult plaintiff at the commencement of the tenancy to do repairs on the premises, and that the agreement applied at the time of the accident six years later [673]; a Conclusion that the parents of the defendants acted as their agents was warranted by evidence that the parents were actively engaged in the management of the premises to the knowledge of the defendants, and that they adopted and acquiesced in actions of their parents with respect to leasing agreements [673-674]. In an action for injuries sustained by the plaintiff child when he fell out of the low kitchen window of his family's apartment as he was attempting to sit on the window sill and the screen ""burst"" open from the bottom, evidence that an agent of the defendant landlords, pursuant to a repair agreement with the adult plaintiff, recently installed a new screen narrower than the original screen, which had been installed in a secure manner, that the agent bent out the screen runners to a forty-five degree angle, and that she said she was repairing the window so that it would be safe would have warranted a finding of negligence in the installation of the new screen for which the defendants were liable. [674-676]
