This post is really for snow-belt landlords. Here in New Hampshire, snow season can start as early as November and continue into May. Unless you are renting SFRs, or have some other arrangement where the tenant is responsible for outdoor care, it is up to you to take care of the snow and ice on driveways and parking lots.

Now the tenants can’t get out of the lot, which means they can’t get to work… or to their appointments. Depending on the timing of the snow and their schedules, your bad snow removal efforts might mean they can’t get into the property.
