Your landlord is legally required to maintain safe conditions on their property. Broken stairs, loose railings, and unlit hallways are not just maintenance issues. They are potential liability, and landlords know it.
What works strongly in your favor is documentation. If you reported the hazard and your landlord ignored it, that paper trail matters. A text message, an email, a maintenance request, anything that shows they knew about the problem and did nothing can be the difference between a strong case and a weak one.
