Before BARKDULL, SCHWARTZ and BASKIN, JJ.

Opinion:
BASKIN, Judge.
Perceiving no question of fact involving breach of the landlord's duty to exercise reasonable care to an invitee, we affirm the summary judgment entered by the trial court.
[T]he mere occurrence of an accident does not give rise to an inference of negligence, and is not sufficient for a finding of negligence on the part of anyone. Robinson v. Allstate Insurance Company, 367 So.2d 708 (Fla.3d DCA 1979); Marcano v. Puhalovich, 362 So.2d 439 (Fla. 4th DCA 1978); Lash v. Nolan, 321 So.2d 104 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975); and City Cab of Orlando, Inc. v. Green, 308 So.2d 540 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975).
