Stair code & tenant agreements
I have a situation where my stairs are not 100% to code in Texas. Can I include something in the Rental Agreement where they would sign, acknowledging the stair issue and that we are not liable?
(additional info: changing the stairs or getting new ones would be a massive undertaking)

What makes them not compliant? Maybe I can help. Stairs are easy. I built my first set at 15 yo and I turn 60 this year. Maybe I can help you make them compliant.
