Owner’s responsibility for snow clearing not absolute, says Régie

On behalf of the Régie du logement, Administrative Judge Serge Adam refused a tenant’s $60,000-claim against her landlord. The request emanated from the tenant’s fall in an icy parking lot. The Régie reminded those in the courtroom that the landlord’s obligation to clear the parking lot is not absolute and is seen rather from the perspective of what is deemed reasonable.
