Richmond Hill, GA premises owner liability
Trespasser

A trespasser is the person who enters the premises of another without an express or implied invitation, for his or her own purposes, and when not performing of any duty to the owner. It is usually not necessary for a premises owner to show that the trespasser had unlawful intent for making such an entry.

When premises owners are not aware of the presence of trespassers, they generally have no duty to notify a trespasser of any dangers or to make their premises safe for the benefit of a trespasser. If a premises owner is aware of the presence of trespassers, the premises owner may be expected to exercise ordinary care in relation to the safety of a trespasser.

Public Roads and Sidewalks
Premises owners are typically responsible for clearing public sidewalks in front of their premises, and to maintain their premises so as not to pose a hazard to the people who are passing by on a public street or sidewalk.

Non-Delegability of Duties
The responsibilities of a premises owner are typically non-delegable. If the defendant remains in possession, the defendant cannot escape responsibility simply since he hired a company to provide maintenance. For instance, a business will be responsible for the condition of its parking lot, although it has contracted with a landscaping company to look after the parking lot and to clear snow and ice. The landlord remains responsible for the condition of the housing it owns, even if it has contracted with a management company to provide all service and maintenance associated with the housing.
