There is, however, no provision in § 47a-7 (a) which requires a landlord to provide lawn and yard care. Such expense is not necessary to keep premises “fit and habitable.” Since these premises were admittedly in the exclusive possession and control of the lessees and since there is no statutory provision or contractual obligation to the contrary, application of the common law principle relieves the lessors of the duty to provide that service. There is therefore no legal basis under which the defendants could claim reimbursement for the $143 spent on lawn and yard care.
