What is the name of your state? California
I have moved into a new apartment in july of '07, according to the lease it comes with 1 under the building carport. What i did not know is that during winter storms the falling leaves clog the drains and the parking lot as well as ~10 carport spaces flood as deep as 4-5 inches. This part of the complex is also lowest, so that doesnt help. I have 1 car and a motorcycle that i keep in front of the car; on jan 4th it flooded really bad .. I was able to get the car out in time but the bike clean up took 2 days. I have many pictures of what it was like. Now its going to rain heavily again, what do i do ? Of i take car and bike on the street - i risk damage from falling branches , water etc - after all thats why i rented an apartment with carport and what good is it if i cant use it on stormy days ?? The manager says its all " acts of God" and he wont pay for any damage or work with the City to improve the drain situation. Should i start witholding part of the rent and when he tries to evict me have my day in court ?? I have good credit and never had any rental problems but this is just wrong.. Any adivse ?
Thanks !What is the name of your state? Cakifornia, San JoseWhat is the name of your state?
