What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD
The day after my tenants moved in the flooded the upstairs. They know they were wrong for doing it and know they have to pay for the repairs. When the flood happened i had a cleaning crew come out and clean the damage up. At first glance everything looked to be OK once i did the final inspection i noticed that the vinyl was coming up about 4-5 ft total. 3 days later I had my floor guy come out to fix the vinyl that came up due to the water damage. While looking at that they noticed that the hardwood floor where the flood happened was completely warped and appears to have mold under the wood. During the final inspection i did tell him that the floor was a concern of mine but i would have to get someone out to look at it.
I called a different company out and they to confirmed that the damage was there. They told me the repair cost of this would be around 5-6k mark.
So far with the total damage to the house my cost to repair this is about 7k. My question is would i have to take this up with the courts or is there a site that i can research this on about how to get the money back? also from what i have stated is there any place i was wrong and would not have a leg to stand on?
