Is the wall needed for the stairs?

[Häggens]

Hi, I don't think this interior wall is necessary for the stairs to hold together. It is a non-load-bearing interior wall that we want to demolish. But one of the stringers is screwed in three places to the wall, which still makes me a few percent unsure, although I think it was just practical during assembly at the time.

What do you with experience say? House built in 1980.

Hello! I want to start tearing down like tomorrow, you should prioritize this thread!

I think the staircase will remain without the wall, but it is stabilized a bit by the wall. So it will work to take down the wall, but the staircase might creak a little more than usual.

The easiest thing to do would be to unscrew the three screws and check. If it feels bad, you can screw them back in.

The easiest thing would probably be to unscrew the three screws and test it. If it doesn't feel right, you can screw them back in

Smart, thanks! It creaks a lot already, maybe it will be better without the wall
