Question about injury liability if tenant slips on ice

[John Clark]

I use the BP lease agreement for Arkansas and just had a potential tenant pose something that I haven't come across.  He feels that if he is not allowed to use rock salt (as it causes damage to the concrete) then if there is a slip and fall on the ice the landlord should be liable and should be stated as such in the lease.  Granted we don't get a TON of snow and ice here, we do get some but I'm not sure the best way to respond back to this statement.  Any suggestions from the group?
