Well, the upstairs condo did it again. Their pipes froze and burst and flooded my rented condo below them. All the carpet has been removed to cement floors. The lower 2 feet of the walls cut out. She has to keep her cat in a cage to keep it out of the walls. A lot of her furniture is ruined but she has rental insurance. It's taking time to get everything fixed. My guess is about a month. The last time this happened (6 months ago due to clogged condensate line from same upper condo) they had to cut a hole in the ceiling of the my condo and replace a much smaller portion of carpet. She was happy with a $100 break on rent. I know I need to compensate her more this time. The place is totally livable but definitely annoying for her. Rent is normally $1575. How much would you compensate the renter? She is a good renter BTW.
