Bag Sump
Monday, May 10th, 2010
My garage flooded due to a faulty sump pump.?
We rent our house, and the pump stopped working during the Armageddon-style rains we’ve had this last week. The landlord is replacing the pump, but is he also responsible for replacing our things that were destroyed, since it was HIS pump that stopped working? I’m not talking about alot here, not trying to gouge him. A couple of sleeping bags, some thrift-store furniture, a couple of framed prints. What are our rights here?
Haha. Yes. Seattle. We were just about to start gathering animals 2 by 2, when we looked in the garage.
No, the landlord is not responsible for your items unless the damage that was cause was from his negligence. If, for example, the sump pump broke prior to the rains and you reported it to the landlord and he did not fix it, then yes, he is responsible because the flood that happened was a direct result of his inaction.
The damage that you are speaking about is what Renter’s Insurance is for. Contrary to what one of the previous posters stated, your landlord does not have a Homeowners policy, he has a Landlord policy. Landlord policies cover the dwelling itself (in case it caught fire, etc) and it covers liability for things like slip and fall, etc. a Landlord policy does not cover items which are inside the household at all.
Look at it this way, if you were filling up the tub and forgot about it and it overflowed. would the landlord be responsible? It was HIS tub that overflowed. No, he would not be responsible because he did nothing to cause the flood. Now if he were there working on the pipes and managed to flood the house he would be completely responsible because it was his action that caused the flood.
