“[A]lthough Thompson has reaffirmed the existence in Georgia of the landlord's duty to exercise reasonable care in repairing defective conditions and keeping his premises in repair ... nevertheless the classic rules of negligence still apply in this state. These rules impose liability only where the landlord has actual or constructive superior knowledge [of the alleged defective condition], and the plaintiff has a duty to exercise ordinary care for her own safety.”
