Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Montana
Stairway Rails
My daughter, age 33 has degenerative disk dieseas, and has had 2 fusions. She fell down a flight of stairs this week in the home they are renting and the stairs have no hand rail of any kind. She spent 5 hours in the emergency room and will have to go for an MRI. Are landords required to provide hand rails in rented homes? Thank you,

You will need to check local codes.
Call the local city housing inspector for requirements. You may wish to consult local personal injury attorney for claim potential.
