According to the testimony of Shirley Calder, the sidewalk on which she fell was not in a clean and safe condition, and as a result, she fell and seriously injured herself. Calder testified that on the date of her accident she had descended the stairway leading from the door of her apartment and stepped onto the sidewalk, where her feet landed unexpectedly on rocks or gravel which caused her to skid for some distance before her feet flew out from under her and she landed face down. She knew that it was small rocks on which she skidded and lost control because she felt the rocks through the soles of her shoes when she stepped down on them, and she and her husband later observed the skid marks caused by the rocks where her accident occurred. Calder’s testimony was sufficient to raise an issue of fact *280whether the defendants breached their duty owed to her pursuant to the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.
