Apartment complex water damage
Water damage can have devastating consequences on an apartment complex or rental property. In the worst case scenario, it can make apartments completely unlivable, and could potentially ruin any property the renter may have inside. Even flooding that seems minor at first can develop into problems with devastating and long-term consequences.
Wet surfaces are breeding grounds for mold, mildew, and bacteria, which can further damage the building, as well as create life-threatening health hazards. Tenants have rights that protect them in these situations, and it’s the landlord’s responsibility to make sure that water damage is addressed quickly, completely, and professionally.
Water damage that’s left unrepaired will only make problems worse for everyone. If attended to quickly, it may only be a matter of days before everything is dried properly, and the renters can go back to living their lives normally. However, if the issue develops into something worse, involving mold, wood rot, demolition, and reconstruction, not only will the cost of repair be much higher, but the revenue generated through monthly rent will be lost as well. The law protects tenants in the situations, and they are not responsible for paying rent for periods of time they are unable to live in the apartment.
While most of a tenants personal belonging are likely to be covered by renters insurance, it’s only the responsibility of the landlord to replace damaged items in the event that the flooding is attributed to negligence. While it’s not our place to decide who is or isn’t at fault, we can say for certain that delaying any repairs related to water damage isn’t going to help a landlord’s case should the dispute go to court.
If there’s ever any kind of water damage to your apartment or rental community, it’s strongly recommended that you contact a professional. We’re available 24/7 through our emergency hot-line at 919-467-1991.
