I need to issue a party wall notification with some work im doing.
I just moved in and the neighbours are renting.

Do i have to notify the tenants or do i need to find the name/address of the owner and notify them?

Hi Cathalmf,
Definitely the owner but it wouldn't hurt letting the tenants know you will be working on the party wall.

does replacing a stairs which is against the party wall require a notification?

Hi Cathalmf,
Assuming you will not be cutting out your side of the wall to some depth to insert treads, replacing your stairs does not need a party wall agreement. You should not need to cut out the wall to fit new stairs.
