I would suggest you either make steps or Terrace the area. To comment further I would need to see a Photo or two........
It would seem that your Landlord should fix the dangerous concrete to that area.. Its his/her responsibility to maintain the property. and if you fell and broke your leg there then the Landlord should be held responsible for your Medical Bills.. I would contact the local Government department in your Area that the Landlords have to answer to so they can be land lords. Do the landlords have to have a License ?.. Here in the States we can report issues to the local Building Inspection Department or Health Department . If you have been there a Year and have reported this problem to the Land lord and they have done nothing you need to contact some one else, like a local magistrate ? What if next time you fell ( lets hope not) you broke your back? then what would do?
I would look for a dense fast growing ground cover. I don't know about plants in your area but something that vines or spreads out may cover the rocks making them softer to land on and prettier to look at. Plus it won't cost a ton of money. Other wise maybe a handrail to keep you from falling again I'd try to get the landlord to put it in or negotiate and offer to pay some.
What about putting in a ramp - are there organizations that would do that for you
This is a hazard. The landlord is responsible for repairing it.
I think the landlord should remedy it, but for a temporary fix, maybe put a large outdoor rug or even artificial grass out there, anything to give some textures and minimize surface area slipping. Be sure to get something that won't wiggle though, like I don't think a rubber doormat would be large enough.
