Building Resources, Inc, is the manager for an apartment complex located in Baltimore, Maryland. Residents have complained about the presence of transients sleeping in the tenant's parking lot area and going through the complex's trash bins. Building Resources received notice from the city of Baltimore about the risks of allowing transients to remain on private property. The notice disclosed that crime, including assaults, increased with the lack of enforcement of trespass laws by owners. John Goodview, a resident of the Building Resources complex, was attacked and robbed by two transients as he walked from the parking lot to his apartment. Goodview suffered severe injuries and was off work for one month. Goodview wishes to know if he has any rights against Building Resources.
