My house is 20yrs old I have lived here 8 months , cracks have appeared along the srtairs from top to bottom where stairs case meets the wall. Why is this happening?
 
It could be a number of things. The simplest is that you are keeping the house warmer and they are shrinkage cracks.
 
Nothing serious - the way a staircase is constructed they can bounce, dry out, creak etc. they won`t collapse
 
We had a damaged batch of caulk on a job last year and the skirting lines cracked everywhere there was a decent amount of traffic. Nothing to stress about....
