Were you injured? If so, you may have a case for medical costs, lost wages and minor pain and suffering. Otherwise, you have no case if you were not injured. There may be a breach of the lease, however. Anyhow if the parking lot is part of the common areas the landlord is responsible for salting it if it is paved or salting icy patches if not, and failure to do so may be the landlord's negligence.
