Property management took almost a month to fix leaking roof. Am I entitled to loss of use?
Told the property management company there was a water leak in both my warehouses via their online portal on 1/30/19. Called to figure out why it hadn’t been dealt with (I was out of country from the 5th-19th) on the 15th and they just have me the run around. Part of why I called was that I hadn’t paid rent because historically these guys just dilly dally and take their sweet time. By the 22nd of February they claimed to have finished the job according to the portal. Am I entitled to loss of use reimbursement? I sell mattresses and had to move my entire stock out while I was gone. I brought it up with the property management company’s office manager and she told me to write an email to the front desk and that they would forward it to the land Lord. And he would decide if he would reimburse me. On top of all this I moved back in when I got back. Paid my rent (which I’ve been told I shouldn’t have withheld rent) and the roof is still leaking and ruined one of my mattresses. Any advice going forward? I live in California btw and it’s a month to month lease.
