❄️ When Ice Strikes, Who’s Liable? 🧊 Winter is upon us, and with it comes the potential for icy walkways and the dreaded slip-and-fall incidents. Understanding who’s responsible for ice-related accidents can save landlords, tenants, and property managers a lot of headaches—and legal trouble. 📌 Here are the basics: 👉 Landlords: If common areas aren’t maintained, liability could fall on you. Keep sidewalks, stairs, and parking lots clear! 👉 Tenants: If ice forms due to your actions (like leaving windows open) or if your lease requires snow removal, you might be on the hook. 👉 Negligence: Proactive measures—like salting and timely maintenance—can prevent costly lawsuits. At Spark Management, we ensure our properties are prepared for the winter season, prioritizing safety and minimizing risks for everyone. From proactive ice removal plans to clear communication between landlords and tenants, we help make sure everyone is ready when the cold strikes. How do you prepare your properties for winter?
