Mr. Stalick does not challenge the court’s finding that he was aware of the poor condition of the stairs. Instead, he *597argues that the landlord is not liable unless the dangerous condition was the result of an affirmative act of negligence or faulty repair. This is not the showing required to fulfill the notice requirement for a cause of action under section 17.6. Tenants need not prove negligent repair to establish that the landlord was aware of the condition and had a reasonable opportunity to remedy the condition. Simply put, in some circumstances a landlord may be liable under section 17.6 if he is aware of the condition, has reasonable opportunity to remedy the condition, and then makes no attempt to remedy the condition.
