In many cases, no. The law states that the tenant or owner of a property must make sure that the gutters are clear before any storm hits. This means that if you have a tenant who lives in your property and you own it, then they are responsible for cleaning out their own gutters. However, if you do not live there yourself but rent out several units on a property as an investment property then this gets more complicated. In this case, it is possible for both parties to be responsible for clearing their respective sides of the building (unless they can agree to split costs).
