The court stated that a "stairway is unreasonably dangerous when its likelihood of causing injury is beyond that ordinarily to be expected, and which should not be expected to be safely negotiated by the use of ordinary care." The court explained that when old buildings are modified and converted into apartments they may not be "as convenient or as safe" as more modern buildings. According to the court, when a tenant chooses to rent in these older buildings with the knowledge that the building has a "less than convenient stairway which requires some additional care to negotiate, the tenant cannot complain if he or she fails to use the care required to descend the stairs successfully." (Emphasis added.) In such a case, in effect, the tenant "assumes the risk of injury" posed by the hazardous stairway.
