Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Thought I would post an email that I received ( which is just like others that I receive on a daily basis ) and see what the group would have us do! With Insurance companies in DENIAL and on the run, Renters with No Where to go, THERE HAVE GOT TO BE SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE SOME ANSWERS. I'm running out. Thanks in advance for your insite and any help you can give me, which I can in turn, pass on to our visitors .. BEGIN POST: My question is this; we have rented our house for approx. 1 and a half years, in this period of time, our basement has flooded 2x's through no fault of our own. A pipe broke in the kitchen between the sink and the dishwasher, and caused a flood in the basement, and then a pipe broke in the basement bathroom, and caused a flood. Also prior to us moving in there was a flood downstairs, and they had to remove part of the drywall, which was never replaced. After both of these i ncidents we contacted our landlord, which refused to fix anything, he said he is not responsible for repairs, we are. I find this to be unfair, and we are not sure what steps to take next. The odor in the basement is so horrible, that I cannot even go down there, I am pregnant, and afraid that the toxins may harm my baby. Also my 10year old son was recently diagnosed with asthma, and he has no prior history of breathing problems. We are at a complete loss on how to deal with this problem, and what actions we can take against our landlord. I would appreciate any help or advise that you have to offer. Thank you so much for your time. XXXXXXXXX - END Jimmy Mc - President Contractor Services Division jimmy@... At StartRemodeling.com, " We're Bettering your Life by Improving where you Live It!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 OH MY GOSH. GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT HOUSE AND NOW! Believe me, having lived through the hell and aftermath, you can go to salvation army or the home of a family member, but GET OUT OF THAT HOUSE. Your unborn child is suffering more than you can ever imagine. Get out and then deal with your landlord later. What state do you live in. I can help you more after you answer this question. Thank you. Stacey in Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
