Explanation / Answer

landlord L has already arranged to send a contractor to repair the floor the next week. Hence, landlord cannot be completely held responsible for the same. But he is partially responsible because he did not respond immediately to solve the issue of floor repair.

On the other hand, T has to indicate with a sign board that the floor has a hole so that visitors do not get affected. Hence, V has right against T to lodge a complaint against T on the basis of right to information and also right to safety.
