What happens when some rotten kids plug up the drains and turn on the water in the vacant apartment behind us? You guessed it- at about 10:00pm yesterday, our kitchen floor was covered in water. By 11:30, when the carpet guy FINALLY showed up, our bathroom, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, second bathroom, entry way and hallway were all flooded. That leaves us with a small space in the living room that isn't cluttered with everything we moved and our bedroom. Keep in mind that we are also sharing these spaces with the cat and dog.
We now have 6 fans and 1 industrial dehumidifier (never thought I would need one of those in CO) running and the carpet is pulled up in all the places mentioned above. I won't even begin to describe the smell in the apartment but it tops out anything I have ever smelled including the barns at the state fair!
I went to the apartment office after work and requested a new apartment, cheaper rent, and I want them to pay for all moving expenses. I am also requesting an addition to my lease stating what happened and that we will never be liable for any of the damages in the apartmet. This of course has to be approved so we won't know anything until tomorrow morning. But if it is approved, we are moving tomorrow! Good thing I already took the day off. So for the night, we are trapped in our stinky apartment where it is so humid the mail in the wall holder is damp and the noise from the fans had given us both horrible headaches. Woo-hoo.
