It will also differentiate among the potential torts that might come up from this business context. Also it will discuss ways to help prevent the risk of the potential torts. Throughout the paper there will be talk about ethical responsibilities that the owner of the building may have to Sharon and Daryl.
Is the intruder liable for his actions?

The intruder trespassed on property that he was not authorized to be on. The intruder also assaulted Sharon and Daryl and caused intentional infliction of mental distress and making Sharon and Daryl fear for their safety and causing emotional distress on them. It may also go as far as trespass against the intruder from the owner of the building since he had no right to be on the property when he committed the actions.
What are my legal duties and responsibilities to Sharon and Daryl?

Yes as the owner of the building needs to protect the actual building and make sure it is a safe for the tenants but that is as far as the owner needs to go.

The owner shouldn’t be held reasonability if the tenants did not make sure that all point of entries is not secure or locked properly.
