Event Temps, shame on you.

Shame on you, Event Temps.  Shovel your walk.  Both the neighboring businesses in the building did.

This topic has been covered pretty extensively here in the past; according to MA law the landlord and tenant share equal responsibility for snow removal.

What does that mean?

They take turn shoveling? They shovel half each every time?

I'm no legal expert but as far as I understand it, the law is not specific on how snow-removal duties should be allocated. It's left up to landlord and tenant to work that out between them, but if the snow isn't removed, both parties can be held responsible. And thus it's a very good idea to make sure that the agreement is spelled out in the lease, for ass-covering purposes on all sides.

again disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and this is my understanding which may be flawed in any or all parts.
