Anyone know what obligations parking lot owners need to oblige by?

generally parking lots and garages have a disclaimer that you "park at your own risk"

There is no universal law that covers all states/areas...

So it would depend on the Landlord Tenant laws of your state, the conditions listed in your lease and your state and/or your local county/city ordinances.

You can find most of those online for your state.

Under one or more of those things your landlord may be required to maintain the parking lot and remove snow/ice..

Until you find out you may just have to purchase some rock salt and a snow shovel and keep your garage area cleared.

If the Rays are as severe as they say they are approximately recuperating attendance and getting the appropriate region for a sparkling ballpark, they might desire to flow faraway from St. Pete. No disrespect, however the section has not supported the Rays almost as much as they choose. genuinely, i think of the state of Florida altogether is a terrible suitor for MLB communities customarily because of the fact that is infamous for travelling, retirement and seashores. not precisely the form you breed hardcore MLB followers. The Rays might desire to appeal to a diverse variety of human beings, people who artwork and are an enduring portion of the Tampa community. although, once you're gonna stay there you will possibly be able to besides flow to the metropolitan section in Tampa. the different option ability moving the franchise, changing the gang call and commencing over cosmetically. The Rays do not choose that drastic of a metamorphosis, they only choose extra help financially to compete long term. As of astounding now, the Rays are a playoff team the final 3 years working with fairly low attendance and a not sufficient money and that's a shame.

The answer largely depends on local laws. However, as a general rule, lot owners are responsible for maintaining a reasonably safe condition for pedestrians and drivers. If the lot owner fails to clear the lot of snow and ice within a reasonable amount of time, the owner could be held liable for any damages that occur as a direct result of the neglect.

You park at your own risk. Unless you can show that the lot owner's negligence directly caused the damage, there is not much you can do. Even then, in many states the most you could recover would be the amount you paid to park.

You ask what his obligation is to you and that depends on what your reasonable expectations are.

a) If it is a pay to park, and you have paid, you have the reasonable expectation of a clean lot to which you can safely drive and then have save ingress and egress to and from your car.

b) If it is an empty lot and you simply use it to park your car and pay nothing for the use, the owner, if aware of your use, simply has to make sure that YOU do not get hurt on his land (to heck with your car).

Read the contract he signed with you, that should state his obligations to you. He is not obligated to do anything other then what the contract states.
