Failure to Submit Management Agreement Required Dismissal of Property Managing Agent’s Motion for Summary Judgment in a Slip and Fall Case—the Terms of the Agreement Determine the Agent’s Liability

The Second Department determined that the property managing agent, in a slip and fall case, did not eliminate all triable issues of fact concerning liability for plaintiff’s fall on black ice because it did not submit a copy of the managing agreement with its motion for summary judgment:

As a general rule, liability for a dangerous or defective condition on real property must be predicated upon ownership, occupancy, control, or special use of that property … . A duty of care on the part of a managing agent may arise where there is a comprehensive and exclusive management agreement between the agent and the owner that displaces the owner’s duty to safely maintain the premises … . Here, in moving for summary judgment, the … defendants failed to submit a copy of the written management agreement. Consequently, they failed to establish, prima facie, that the managing agent owed no duty of care to the plaintiff … . Calabro v Harbour at Blue Point Home Owners Assn Inc, 2014 NY Slip Op 05620, 2nd Dept 8-6-14
