Attorney Steven Flaxman Featured by CBS News Colorado on Tenant Safety Concerns After Fatal Apartment Incident
CBS News Colorado recently interviewed Attorney Steven Flaxman about a developing story involving the tragic killing of a tenant at a Lone Tree apartment complex. In the report, residents voiced serious concerns about security failures and repeated safety issues within the building.
During the interview, Steven explained how Colorado law requires landlords and property managers to take reasonable steps to protect residents from foreseeable dangers. He noted that when there is a pattern of crime, ongoing complaints, or ignored security lapses, tenants may have legal options if a landlord fails to act. His commentary helped clarify how accountability works in cases where violence or unsafe conditions put residents at risk.
