Reply to comment by Proof-Variation7005 in do landlords have to remove snow/ice in Waltham? by [deleted]

even with the state code that "The owner shall maintain all means of egress at all times in a safe, operable condition and shall keep all exterior stairways, fire escapes, egress balconies and bridges free of snow and ice", waltham has something that contradicts that?

I have no idea what Waltham does or doesn't have. I'm just speaking from the experience of having lived in a dozen or so apartments in New England. A good attentive landlord will do a pretty good and prompt job clearing the front path and sidewalk and leave the rest to you.

It isn't worth fighting over unless you're 100% moving out at the end of your lease and don't care about a contentious relationship or whatever.

I'd expect absolutely nothing for the driveway beyond maybe a small path to a back door entrance. They're not going to help with any plow-dams at the end of the driveway and the only real promptness is that they'll probably fall within that 24-36 hr window after the storm stops when they legally have to clear it.
