Landlord/Tenant Issue

Let's say that someone's apartment--someone with a legal lease-- had a pipe in the bathroom that broke and starting shooting water around 8 feet and filled the apartment with around 2-3 inches of water. The super, the building manager, and landlord were unreachable in this situation until the next day when the landlord agreed to pay for the plumber but claimed he didn't have insurance for this type of thing and in terms of damages said he wanted to wait for everything to dry out. Let's say in this situation most of the apartment is carpeted all of which is wet and will probably mildew. What would be the best way for this tenant to go about this type of situation? let's say the damage includes a laptop, a printer, a scanner, some leather shoes, and a couch.

does anybody know any deals on studios or one bedrooms in the city?


Thanks!

Call 311 and explain the situation. They may send someone out the next day. Part of of my building collapsed into my neighbor's yard (thank god) and the guy called and the next day some guy from the city was there checking it out. BTW, DO NOT RENT EVER in any building owned by either Sky Enterprises or Empire Management.

Don't you have renter's insurance?

I don't KNOW anything, but I was pretty sure the personal property doesn't fall under your landlord's insurance. Like I said I don't KNOW anything, but my first thought was everything but your laptop and other personal property is the landlord's repsonsibility. So like the carpet he should get that shit out of there.

Again I don't KNOW anything I just like to type. Qwerty.
