I am a physician leasing space that gets flooded due to improper drainage on a regular basis. This flooding is not only a health hazard because of standing water, but also makes it impossible for me to use 3 of my 4 patient consulting rooms. I have notified the landlord on numerous occasions both verbally and in writing that the problem was urgent and needed to be fixed. Unfortunately, nothing has been done to remedy the problem and I am flooded yet again. My questions are:
#1 Where in Texas do I report this negligent landlord
#2 Is there a State appointed commercial tenant advocate in Texas other than a hired attorney?
#3 Can I hire a contractor to provide an estimate on the cost of necessary repairs to fix the problem and then turn them into the landlord with fee chargeback? Can I get the problem fixed and chargeback?
#4 Is there any other course of action open to me other than notifying him of the default and moving? (this being the last resort as my patient base is local)
Your help is truly appreciated!
