In CT the landlord must:provide a clean apartment when the tenant moves in; clean common areas (hallways, stairs, yards, entryways); keep hallways and entryways lighted well; and, keep plumbing and heating systems working (both hot and cold running water).correctly repaired and safe stairways, porches, floors, ceilings and walls; good locks on the doors to the apartment; safe fire exits from the building; two electrical outlets in each room; viewing devices on doors that open onto a hallway (in some communities); extermination service if the apartment is infested with pests or rodents; and a smoke detector that is in working order.

We have just one stairway, would you exclude them from the footprint.

There are literally dozens of stairways, porches, nooks, crannies and secret passageways.
