What is the name of your state? Washington
I recently moved into an apartment and have not purchased renters' insurance. Last week my landlord installed a new water heater in the apartment above mine. Today I came home and my ceiling had partially caved-in and water was pouring in from above. The water damage has ruined a ton of my belongings, including a lot of electronics. The landlord says that his insurance won't cover it. Question: What are my options; how should I proceed; should the landlord be liable?
