Just wondering who would be held responsible if the city issued a fine or someone sued for falling.
Presume that there is no written agreement in the lease (unless it's in the RTA somewhere and I missed it)

I think if you're the sole occupant of the residence you are required (regardless of landlord or tenant) but if you're a tenant then the landlord is required to provide the necessary equipment for snow/ice removal. I think.
I help out with shoveling/salting (landlord lives upstairs and is a family friend), but when I lived in Burnaby in the same situation (except the landlord was just my landlord) I left the shoveling/salting to him.
