I know exactly what I wrote, but I don't know what you mean by "was responsible." Responsible for what?
What I wrote in my original response in this thread was that the tenant has exclusive possession of the premises. No question about that (in the absence of some really unusual lease provision). I also wrote that a tenant, like everyone else, has an obligation to act reasonably, and that, if a tenant with exclusive possession of a premises is aware of a dangerous condition and fails to act reasonably in response, he/she "could be held liable to anyone injured as a result of the dangerous condition." There's no implication in any of that that this particular OP-tenant "was responsible" for anything, and there's certainly no reasonable interpretation of what I wrote that I was opining that the OP needs to climb a ladder and fix the gutter him/herself.
Oh...I also asked a question about what the OP's lease says, and the OP hasn't seen fit to answer that question as of yet.
