Is the landlord responsible for the theft of the tenant?

It depends on the situation.

1. If the lease contract stipulates that the tenant's things are stolen and the landlord is responsible, then the landlord is responsible.

2. If the housing facilities provided by the landlord are not in good condition, or the landlord has fulfilled his security obligations, then the landlord will be liable for the loss of the tenant's things, and the specific responsibility is to bear certain responsibilities within the scope of his fault.

3. If the rented house is found to have potential safety hazards before renting, you can ask the landlord to install protective fences and other requirements, or you can stipulate in the lease contract. However, the landlord is responsible for this situation. The landlord has no obligation to ensure the safety of the house you rent, and you have no right to ask the landlord for compensation.

Who will be responsible for the theft of the rental house?

1. Generally speaking, it is based on the principle of "safety first, prevention first" and the principle of "whoever rents it is responsible", but it should be clearly divided in practice.

2. The lessor shall check the safe use and nature of the leased house, and the lessee shall cooperate; If you can't see it in person for objective reasons, you should entrust others to see it.

3. Where the lessee uses the leased premises to engage in production and business activities, the lessor shall require the lessee to show fire control procedures and industrial and commercial business licenses or business licenses and other relevant certificates before opening, and the lessor and the lessee shall assist the relevant departments to conduct safety inspection and management of the leased premises and truthfully provide relevant information and information.

4. The lessor shall report the security risks of the rented house and the lessee's unauthorized change of the nature of the use of the house to the comprehensive management institution of the rented house or other relevant departments. If the lessee changes the use nature of the house without authorization, the lessor may terminate the structure and use nature according to law.
