Property Owner Liability on Tenant Making Improvements

Hey All,

Quick question.  Where does the property owner liability fall on a tenant making improvements to a property?  Here is a situation:

Tenant informs property owner of a small fix that would improve the property.  Tenant says they can easily fix the issue.  If the property owner gives the go ahead and the tenant is injured in the process, is the property owner liable?  Is consent considered given if the tenant asked and the property owner obliged, or is the property owner in the clear since they didn't ask for the improvement made?

Just curious.
