Full question:
I currently live in an apartment located in Connecticut. We just got a huge snow storm. My father & I live 3 doors away from each other in the same building. Besides myself, my father is the youngest person who resides here. There is now currently 10 inches of snow with ice on top of it making it very heavy. The snow has stopped. My question to you is, is there a law in Connecticut that states, the land lord is responsible for snow removal at all times? My father and I had to shovel a path from my car, his car and my step mom's car because we all have to be at work by 4 a.m. Can you assist me?

Answer:
In Connecticut, the responsibility for snow removal often depends on the lease agreement. Typically, landlords must maintain the property in a safe and habitable condition, which includes complying with local health and safety standards. If snow removal is part of these obligations, failure to clear the snow could violate municipal safety or maintenance standards.
For specific guidance, consider contacting your local housing or tenants' association, as regulations can vary by location.
