Based on the contemporaneous letter and witness evidence the leak was likely caused by a loosened rubber hose installed and replaced by the tenant; the landlord did not create the defect and was not on notice so the risks were not reasonably foreseeable and no duty of care arose toward users of the common area; accordingly the 1st Third Party is not liable and the defendant's contribution claim is dismissed.
