What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington State
Came home in the middle of the night to an unlocked door, after being gone all weekend, and all my carpet ripped out of the apartment with the heat full blast and industrial fans blowing. Apparently a pipe broke and flooded my place. Never got a phone call or so much as a note about it. The emergency hot-line for the complex was not working ("phone was dead"). No answer from anyone for 2 days, tons of stuff ruined from management poorly handling personal belongings, etc. I have renters insurance with a 1,000 deductible. My landlord says they are not paying it. The options are I can find somewhere to go till its repaired, or move out.
Should I have to pay the $1,000 deductible? It seems outrageous that I would have to. I want to fight it. Thoughts?
