0494 Because a landlord has a non-delegable duty to keep premises in good repair, it is vicariously liable for the negligence of an independent contractor hired for that purpose, and since Proposition 51 does not apply to vicarious liability, the landlord and the independent contractor are jointly and severally liable for all injuries proximately caused by the contractor's negligence.CitationSRITHONG v TOTAL (Non-delegable Apportionment) 23 CA4 721 [See: Maloney v Rath 69 C2 442; Brown v Pepperdine 23 C2 256; Poulsen v Charlton 224 CA2 262; Miller v Stouffer 9 CA4 70, T/AT 11/92; Rashtian v BRAC-BH 9 CA4 1847, T/AT 12/92; CivC 1431]
