Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A provision in a residential lease that relieves the landlord of liability for damages caused by water, snow, or ice is void. Landlords have a duty to maintain their properties in a reasonably safe and habitable condition. A waiver of liability for damage caused by weather events violates that duty, and any such provision in a lease agreement is unenforceable.
