Tennant and Landlord question

[Tariq Azad]

Good Morning Folks-

I have a quick legal question for this news group- I was wondering if
someone would be kind enough to respond me here- I don't know if this is a
right forum - If not, then please redirect me to the right forum or a web
site-

Scenario:
If commnercial tennant and lanlord shares the same office space - Lanlord
shares the major porition of the office, and has keys of all rooms - Tennat
has key of only one room - If tennant goes for vacation, and if someone
breaks in and took all tennant's computer equipment except the landlord's
equipments and items - Who would be responisble for security? - Generally, I
understand that tennat is responsible for his own security and insurance,
but tennant had no insurance -- Is there any law / legal reference in Canada
and USA, which can help me as a tennant - I personally think that landlord
was responisble for the security. Keep in mind that the tennant was out of
the country when the theft / break-in occurs. Moreover there is no written
agreement between tennat and the landlord.

I am just looking for a reference, which can help me in this scenario and
tells me that Lanlord was responsible for the security.

Thanks,

TA
