The plaintiff claims that the trial court improperly failed to charge the jury (1) that, pursuant to General Statutes § 47a-7 (a) (2), a landlord has a statutory duty to keep demised premises fit and habitable; (2) that if falling snow somewhat increased the danger of the underlying defect and amounted to no more than an incidental and slight cause of the plaintiffs injuries, the *236jury must find that the preexisting ice and not the new precipitation was the proximate cause of the plaintiffs injuries; (3) that pursuant to General Statutes § 47a-16 (b), the landlord has a right and duty to inspect the premises; (4) that if the jury found that there was no written lease, the plaintiff was a month-to-month tenant, and the defendants were under a legal duty to repair the premises and were responsible for the injuries; (5) that the defendant had a continuing duty to repair the premises; (6) that “premises” is defined in General Statutes § 47a-l (g) as including appurtenances and grounds; (7) that momentary inattention on the part of the plaintiff does not constitute contributory negligence; and (8) that the plaintiff should be presumed to exercise due care.
