• When Olivia Crump tried to leave her apartment in Milledgeville, Georgia, on Dec. 28, she was surprised to find a crucial structure missing: the stairs to the ground floor.
According to the Daily Mail, Crump said the management company did not notify her about the stairs being removed for construction.
"It was impossible to get down without climbing over the ledge with a ladder or scaling the side with a decent drop below," she said.
She and her dog were trapped in the apartment for about four hours, during which the dog almost had an accident. While Crump doesn't plan any legal action, she did note that the absence of stairs could be a fire hazard, and she hopes the management company will compensate tenants for putting them in a dangerous situation.
