Start by looking at your agreement to rent. It should discuss the obligations and responsibilities of each of the parties, including who is to maintain what. I am hoping that it states in there that the landlord is responsible to "maintain" the property including the roads. If the property is wholly owned by him and these are interior roads then they are covered and you would start a proceeding against him based upon the agreement. If they are city or county roads then that is a different story. Good luck.
