update on the apartment flood situation

[chanter1944]

Sooooo. I'm still on the marsh, and probably will be for at least another day. My apartment is being tended to by maintenance - someone's got to empty the dehumidifier bucket and see how things are drying out, plus replace the pads under the sections of carpeting that need it - and my property manager's been made aware of the whole mess. Evidently, it *was* a bidet someone was trying to install, after having been told they were not allowed to do so. End result: Splat supply line, flood situation, ticked off Chanter. That tenant will be paying repair costs, I'm told, and by the conversation I had with the property manager this morning, that tenant has probably already gotten an earful. I get that it wasn't a case of malicious mischief, but it was a monumentally dumb call with disastrous consequences that could have easily been significantly worse even than they were. I'm so incredibly lucky that all my valuables were above carpet level, out of range, or both. So, so incredibly lucky.

My boss has been amazing about the whole thing. I start back to work Monday, and if that's iffy, she's told me to let her know. Whew! In the meantime, my youngest sister has passed me the contact info for a reputable realtor she knows. So now I'm investigating what might be out there and worth buying in terms of condos, as well as what might be out there and available to rent in terms of apartments. We'll see.

I missed the first post on this, but am now caught up! YIKES! I'm glad at least that most of your things were okay, but what a hassle. I hope that your sis can find something useful for you to look at.

Oh gosh, I missed that this was happening too! I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.

Good luck, Chanter. Hopefully whatever new place you get will be less prone to stupidity. Intentional or no.
