We are not trying to be shady, but we truly do not have the money to fix the room to be liveable right now and we did not have flood insurance ourselves as we were told by our insurance company we had to live in certain zones to qualify for it, our address is not in a flood zone. I'm not trying to be mean but she pulls this every time in the last month we have asked her to pick up something she left behind. her lease was up july 1, we had given her notice in January that we did not want to renew
And we did ask some lawyers about it but they said they did not know how that would apply since we were not refusing to make repairs, we just didn't have the money to do so and to not worry about it unless she was filing action. Even the state attorney general office did not have an answer for this kind of situation.
we would ask her if we could come in and check the room and she would always say no and lock the bedroom door so we could not come in. the sump pump was due to be replaced as soon as we pulled it out, not the light socket. We did not know how old the sump pump was as we just bought the house 2 years ago and the previous owner did not know when it was last replaced.
we do not expect anything in damages ,we have not asked her for a penny and for blubber that is what the plumber said her crates were directly on top of the sump pump and was one of the contributing factors due to it breaking down. its a sump pump you are not supposed to pile things on top of it. it was one corner of a walk in closet.
I just wanted to know if there is anything she can do because she brings us up giving her money we dont have at the moment when she did not have any form of insurance and she walked away from the situation instead of getting her stuff out of the water right away. it is our responsibility to clean up the water but since she is the one who informed us of the flooding and she was aware of it, it is her responsibilty to pick up her things off the floor instead of just saying i can't deal with this.
