i woke up this morning and the stairs were missing. yes, missing. a couple months ago we had a party and a large section of the side of the stairs broke off. we’ve been begging our landlord to do something about it for a long time now, and it looks like finally he did. but the thing is… we kind of expected him to fix the stairs, not *remove* them!! and if he did remove them, we would have thought he might at least warn us. so now, when we open the kitchen door, there’s nothing there except for a 3 story drop, with only a small plank of wood nailed against the doorway to protect us from certain death.
it’s so weird to have a whole staircase just be missing like that.

oh man… he’s going to put them back, right?

well, our landlord usually takes months and months to actually get around to doing anything… so who knows. our party during which the stairs broke was back in november. our landlord’s response was to just put a single board across the doorway leading to the stairs. only now, 3 months later, are they doing something about the stairs… so it could be a while.

call the rent board. I’m pretty sure that he HAS to fix it quickly since it’s such a danger to you guys!
or ask <lj user="moonchyld1″>… she volunteers in a legal resource center

Hehe. I don’t know why I find that so funny, but I do. I think just the sheer insanity of removing the entire set of stairs with no replacement.
