New tenant is requesting repairs after signing the lease

Just signed a new tenant. She toured the home and then requested an application to rent it. We met with her at the home to sign the lease which was executed. For some context, the home is more of a summer cabin and there are steps into the front of the home and the back of the home. They are not great but the have worked fine for years. After signing the lease she is now complaining that she is too old/handicapped and is having a hard time navigating the stairs. She even mentioned in passing to my wife that she would hate to have to sue us if she fell. She NEVER mentioned having a handicap before signing the lease. She was at the property 2 times before signing the lease. Now she's demanding repairs... I'm fuming about her passive aggressive comment about suing if she falls. My gut reaction is that I should evict her right away but looking for thoughts/guidance from people that know better. Thanks.
