Only when it has no way to reach the heroes on the upper floors. On the traitor's turn, the traitor searches the room stack for the Stairs From Basement, places it next to an open basement doorway, and shuffles. A monster that can climb out through the Collapsed Room or Coal Chute isn't stuck, and the search still applies if the traitor is stuck in the basement too.
