Greetings, My washer hose (from my washer) came out during a regular wash and flooded the laundry room (cermic tile) and hallway (carpet). I immediately called maintenance around 1030 pm and they sent a contractor out to extract the water, pull the pad and left a fan to dry the carpet and concrete for a few days. Because I immediately addressed the problem, there was no damage and the problem was resolved. A few weeks later, i got a bill on my door for $285 dollars for the 'water extraction' company to come out since it was my washer and they checked the 'water damange' block on the bill. Can my apt really hold me liable for this? Isnt this type of thing covered under their insurance? IN my book, this is why I do not own a home, so i dont have to pay for these types of incidentals. If I am going to have to pay for this type of crap anyway, why am I renting? Again, no damage resulted from the washer hose because I called immediately. Would they rather the apt mold and have a long lasting problem and me leave the water or try to clean it myself? If anyone has any insight, would love to hear it. I am really trying not to pay this bill. Thank you.
