PFEIFER, J.

{¶ 1} The issue in this case is whether a landlord owes the statutory duty under R.C. 5321.04(A)(3) to "[k]eep all common areas of the premises in a safe and sanitary condition" to a tenant's guest properly on the premises. We hold today that a landlord does owe to a tenant's guest the statutory duties under R.C. 5321.04(A)(3) and that a breach of that duty constitutes negligence per se.
