Apartment leak

One thing I will say is to get the water completely dried up. My rental office was flooded about a year ago, it took a water damage company about a month to get the office dried out and repaired. You will want to make sure the moisture is completely out of the floors and walls, or it can turn into mold or dry rot. I would insist that your manager contact a emergency restoration company immediately. They have the tools and equipment to test and repair the unit. That’s my rental advice to you!

By the way– I was going to add that these types of repairs should be covered by your landlords insurance policy. Yes, they will need to file a claim, but it needs to be done before it gets worse.

I have been in my apartment for 2 1/2 weeks and I have had 2 bathroom floods. Now my apartment complex charge for wate and it is on the a sliding scale where it is divided between the building. Now my concern is that they are going to charge me for using extra water because the bathroom flooded and I had to wash clothes that had gotten wet. So is there any way I can prevent this because is not my fault that the apartment flooded or I have to suck it up and take it.

Please if anybody knows let me know.

Thanks
