If the landlord does enter the leased premises to make repairs (e.g., under a provision in a lease), such action alone does not give the landlord control for purposes of liability to the tenant. Thus, the general rule often operates against the tenant who is responsible for keeping and maintaining leased premises in a reasonably safe condition.
