Two apartment floods this week, landlord agreed to financially help us move out. Broke down some numbers on the ‘let’s not milk him and be reasonable’ side of things for what we need to get a new place asap, and he only agreed to half of it after haggling. Apparently he didnt have the money in his account either and has to get it to us later, despite owning multiple buildings.
Classicide now, Maoist land reform across Amerikkka, death to the parasites.
Not sure what area you are in but call a local tenant lawyer because he might be legally obligated to pay you more and a free lawyer consultation is the only thing stopping you from getting it

He should be in breach of the lease contract if he doesn’t provide you with adequate living quarters.
landlords aren’t people and the more of them we kill the better
have to disagree here. they are people, the more of them we kill the better
Folks, a big strong man came up to me in tears and said, sir, the Maoist uprising against the landlords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of the land amongst the peasantry
Kill them all
I so much want to just text pictures of Mao to the guy
let’s not milk him and be reasonable
obviously not your fault that he’s being a worthless parasite scumfuck but in future you should make sure and milk people like this whenever you can
Of course, we just wanted to avoid being combative and here we are
Never trust a landlord.
Kill them instead.
He’s supposed to have insurance for this, like it’s mandated by law iirc
Our biggest concern is mold. We got luckily and not too many things were damaged by the water itself, but he tried to tell us that since there is no subfloor and just concrete it should be fine
MOTHERFUCKER CONCRETE IS KNOWN FOR BEING POROUS HOW ABOUT I CUT SOME PORES IN YOUR FUCKING FACE
Lol
Biggest issue would be the walls but yeah that moisture isn’t going anywhere
Also flood water is just gross the place needs to be emptied and cleaned
The catch is we can’t empty it until we find someplace to put everything and he goddamn knows it but just wants to fucking not help at all
Know what he did? HE BOUGHT A ROOM FAN AND JUST SAID KEEP THIS RUNNING AND THE WINDOWS OPEN right after someone got all the water out
Bad! Fans should be run after the mold risk is addressed, otherwise you’re potentially just distributing mold spores. Went through a few floods myself (among the worst experiences of my life, and I mean the landlord more than the flood itself) and the govt/community response orgs had to stress this because the myth that you should just run fans immediately after a flood is so pervasive. Dehumidifiers (mandatory) are the only thing that should be running for the first few days after the standing water is completely removed. Anything that was under water needs to be cleaned, disinfected, and ideally chemically treated to kill/inhibit mold growth. Vinegar can work, just don’t combine with bleach in a closed space. Only after the water is removed, the humidity is controlled, and the mold risk is mitigated for several days is it safe to introduce airflow to the environment. The longer the flood water sat before being removed, the higher the risk for mold to have started forming.
Ask for your landlord’s insurance information. He should be getting a payment from this, they should be paying for your shit. Do you have rental insurance? Most places mandate it where I live, it covers the cost of damages + a place to live while repairs happen or you find a new place.
Will do
