I am, however, glad to hear that the insurance company was being very supportive and generous with their help. I hope that you didn’t have to deal with a lot of damage, and that whatever caused the flooding in the first place has since been remedied.<br /><br />- <a href="http://cascaderestorationservices.com/" rel="nofollow">Carlene Maysonet</a> -Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203462361550102787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-75828049678381066602012-05-26T12:38:55.636-04:002012-05-26T12:38:55.636-04:00Thank you all ...very the support and the ideas an...Thank you all ...very the support and the ideas and thoughts...yes Renters Insurance is working with us...yes I have contacted all Legal and Advocacy groups and also also contacted local news agencies....and yes the landlord was horrible...and he did not need to be...at all....and I am still kind of reeling and trying to stay afloat at this point....it's nerve wracking on all levels....and I just hope a month from now we are in a better place....enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-15338792092334333172012-05-25T18:18:07.458-04:002012-05-25T18:18:07.458-04:00oh no, what a giant mess!

I am so sorry. sending you hope and more. <br /><br />people always say at least no one was hurt, but all your books and possessions were an important part of your lives. and you certainly did not need the mental and physical strain of clearing out 3 floors of flooding! Fran had good tips and also your Renters Insurance should've guided you through the quagmire. <br /><br />your landlord needs to be slapped with the full weight of the law ... he can take his moldy old mop and twirl on it ... jeez, what an ass he was in a terrible situation when he could've been of so much help just by shutting off the water main. <br /><br />did not even realize xena was gone until I scrolled down. so sorry for everything you are going through.D.K.

Glad you decided to leave the mop parked where the landlord left it. <br />Is he kidding?<br /><br />First- here is a song for you--<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPCFVLgdc2Q<br /><br />Second- There has to be a renters advocate/enforcement division of the city or State government. <br />It really sounds like there were multiple code violations. <br /><br />Third- I hope you are getting help from the local Red Cross type places where you have been displaced & this is an emergency<br />in the meantime. <br /><br />Fourth- You might want to call legal aid to see what lawyers specialize in this type of situation & might take your case pro bono. <br /><br />I seriously hope you are able to maintain.... <br />and regroup.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-56997789207673647382012-05-22T08:10:39.839-04:002012-05-22T08:10:39.839-04:00I hope once things return to some sense of normalc...I hope once things return to some sense of normalcy, you hire a lawyer and sue the shit out of the landlord for having an illegal commode set up in your house.<br /><br />Everywhere I've lived, from CA to NY, require something called a Certificate of Occupancy BEFORE the abode can be lived in. This is true of owner occupied homes and rental homes alike.<br /><br />There is no way your landlord had a Certificate of Occupancy if he had an illegal commode lacking a shut-off valve. He has opened himself up to serious legal action.<br /><br />Good luck.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.com
