0912 A lease that gives the landlord a right to control the conduct of the tenant does not make the tenant an independent contractor of the landlord unless the right of control is inconsistent with the ordinary landlord-tenant relationship; a landlord is not vicariously liable under the peculiar risk doctrine for the tenant's torts unless the tenant is also the landlord's independent contractor.CitationBOSTROM v COUNTY (Wrong Fuel) 35 CA4 1654 [See: GovC 816, 815.4 ; Stanford v City 6 C3 870; White v Uniroyal 155 CA3 1]
