    Before SCHWARTZ, NESBITT and FERGUSON, JJ.
   NESBITT, Judge.

The directed verdict entered in favor of the defendants at the close of the plaintiffs’ case is reversed. Whether the landlord maintained the common areas in a reasonably safe condition is a question for the jury’s resolution. Firth v. Marhoefer, 406 So.2d 521 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981); Bennett v. Mattison, 382 So.2d 873 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980).

Reversed and remanded for a new trial.
