New Jersey Holds that Landlord Can Delegate Duty to Clear Snow on Leased Premises | Practical Law
The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a commercial landlord's non-delegable duty to remove snow and ice from public sidewalks abutting its property does not apply to private driveways. A commercial landlord can therefore contractually delegate its duty to clear snow and ice from the leased premises to its tenant and the tenant is liable for injuries caused by its failure to comply. .
