• rejecting a rule in which no duty existed upon a landlord to remove temporary accumulations of rain water, ice, and snow in favor of a rule in which a landlord may be liable for the failure to remove such matter as “will be determined by applicable principles of negligence law”
• “‘the fact that the accumulation of the ice here was an act of God does not preclude examination into the question of whether or not the defendant was negligent in failing to take remedial action’”
