“The lessor’s duty to repair ... is not contractual but is a tort duty based on the fact that the contract gives the lessor ability to make the repairs and control over them. . . . Unless the contract stipulates that the lessor shall inspect the premises to ascertain the need of repairs, a contract to keep the interior in safe condition subjects the lessor to liability if, but only if, reasonable care is not exercised after the lessee has given him notice of the need of repairs.”
