What to do if my landlord refuses to pay a medical bill?

I rented a condo near my university. My roommate’s family friend visited. We all went out for tacos, except the family friend because decided to stay because she wanted to shower. The glass shower door fell on her and she had to get 4 stitches.

Based upon what you have written, your friend should make a demand for payment of the medical bill to the landlord with a copy of the invoice. If the bill is not paid as requested then your friend's recourse is small claims court against the landlord.
