Q: I’m a first-time shopping center owner in a northern state where snow and ice is prevalent in the winter. I’m afraid that if shoppers slip and fall in the common areas outside tenants’ stores, they’ll sue me. If my leases make me responsible for plowing and shoveling common areas of the center, does that mean tenants won’t have any liability for accidents that occur right outside their doors? How can I assign some responsibility for common area snow removal to my tenants?
