Robert Calef leased a house from David West in the city of Flint, Michigan. Seven weeks into

Question:

Robert Calef leased a house from David West in the city of Flint, Michigan. Seven weeks into the lease term, Calef claims he tripped and fell when he stepped into a snow-covered hole located in the front yard. Calef claims that the hole had been created by West's removal of a fence post in the lawn. As the hole had been covered by snow during Calef s entire occupancy, he was unaware of the hazard. Suffering injuries including fractured humerus and ribs, Calef claims the landlord had a duty to warn him about the dangerous condition. West sought summary judgment based on an exculpatory clause signed by Calef. Does the exculpatory clause bar the claim by the tenant?
