    Yes, if your renter told you of a danger and issue to the steps and you did not fix it, and they were injured because of this, yes they can sue. Which is why of course as a landlord I am sure you carry liability insurance on your property

    Yes, certainly.

    Can he recover? That's another question. Your attorney, paid for by your insurance carrier, will certainly raise the issue that the tenant failed to install the steps or to tell you that he didn't.
