Lillith | Does my landlord have to pay for damage to my property? |
I rent an old farmhouse and the roof of the extension started leaking. It is a flat roof and water came through the ceiling in two places and wrecked my sofa-bed. After talking with my landlord, I arranged for a roofing guy to come and take a look and see if he could fix it temporarily and then give us a quote for a new roof, as my landlord said he was "pretty sure it would need a new roof by now". After the roofer had been up and taken a look he said it had been fixed/patched up many many times. I am so annoyed at my landlord that it has taken them until my belongings have been ruined for them to do anything about the roof. My mum lived with me until a year ago and she informed me that about 18 months ago, water had been coming through the light fitting of the same roof and upon informing our landlord, he said if it only happened in torrential rain then it would be okay when the weather got better! Anyway - my sofa is ruined and I want to know who is responsible for replacing it? |

well i know the answer to this if u live in the uk .
u can write a letter imforming him of the problems an that u want the problem fixing properly withing the next 28 days and that u will b holding him responcible for any damage done to ur property in the mean time . if u get no responce u can get intouch with ur local council and report them keep copies of all contact and demand that any responce from ur landlod be by letter.
after contact with the council u have the right to withhold any rents untill job is done or the is enough rent for u to cover cost .
they cannot kick u out for this.
also check out ur contract maybe worth contacting a solicitor for breech of contract if u get no joy .
good luck hope this is useful . |

go to citizens advice bureau, they are good at these things,
a solicitor will cost you more than sofa |

Ouch. Next time, renter's insurance, just in case. |

You should have contents insurance which will pay for any damage! |

The law requires that all landlords maintain the exterior and fittings thereof and must keep the building in reasonable condition as not to cause unreasonable discomfort to the intended person dwelling within that property.
It is written in the standard rental contract which you would of signed when moving in.
If the landlord will not repair the roof then you should seek legal advice as you can make a claim against him.
In the meantime you could claim off your household contents insurance, if indeed you have such a thing. If not then may I suggest that you start now.
You should also be able to go to your local council as they have certain rules which protect people against unscrupulous landlords.
If the landlord is a farmer then you wont stand a chance as no farmer I know has ever spent money on property. |

If you are in the US you are responsible for your personal property and the landlord the building. You should contact your insurance company, not his. |

In most states the landlord is responsible for fixing the roof but your personal belongings are your responsibility and renters insurance would cover replacing them if you have it. In most cases a landlord has no responsibility for your personal belongings. |

You should have contents insurance for your personal belongings which would cover this eventuality. Was concerned to read about the water coming in through the light fitting - your landlord sounds a useless one: one who gives the rest of us good ones a bad name. That could have led to something very nasty! You need to have a serious talk with this landlord and do at least ask about a contribution towards the sofa although he is not legally obliged to do anything about it, his conscience might just be pricked. Good luck. |

You would need to have proof that your landlord knew about the problem and refused to fix it (sorry, your mom's word is not proof). That's why sending a certified letter for repairs is advised. You would then need to fight him in court over it, and bottom line, it's not worth it.
However, if he is refusing to make repairs to the property, then you can definitely report him to your local housing authority. Landlords are required to maintain the property to provide you a safe reasonable environment.
Take him to small claims court for the sofa, and report him. But don't expect your lease to be renewed. Delicate situation, but insist he fix the roof for sure, that's not at all unreasonable.
