Consider the case of a two-story house, the owner living on the ground floor, and a tenant in the upper story. If part of the floor of the upper apartment fell in - and the owner does not want to repair it - the occupant of the upper apartment may go down and live in the landlord's apartment below until the landlord fixes the upper apartment for him.

What land rights, if any, does the owner of the top floor of a house have?

We explore the metaphor of the attic in modern literature with respect to the darker aspects of misogyny.
