OMG, that's terrible! Hope it's not a catastrophic break...
Stairs built according to international building standards should have minimally acceptable tread depths and riser heights, and they should be more-or-less level. Do you own your house or are you renting? If you are renting, check the dimensions of those stairs and see if they are in conformance with the local building codes (for some reason they are regulated on a local level which are generally, but not always, compliant with international standards). If the stairs are illegal or not up to building codes, then your landlord had better have a nice liability policy on this house! Good luck!
