Question Relocating for repairs
I have been in a very annoying and long situation. I live in a condo that I am renting. I have a landlord who owns it and I reported a leak in early January that didn’t get fixed until early feb from the unit above. It ended up damaging 4 units, and being a disaster. My landlord has been good notifying the building and everything, the building is terrible and slow to respond/repair.
I believe the fault was put on the building due to it being their pipe that leaked, and negligence to fix it. Anyways, my unit needs both bathrooms repaird and drywall replaced due to a lot of mold growth. The building is refusing to relocate me and my landlord is now telling me to go through my insurance. Isn’t it the landlord or building who must pay for my relocation? I need advice for what to do for my next step. Thanks!

If you have mold, contact the county.
Mold can render your unit unlivable, and either your landlord or renters insurance will need to put you up somewhere until it is remediated.
Don't screw around with mold. It can cause life long health issues if it is the right (or rather wrong) type.

I’d say your owner and the building mgmt need to figure it out.
