Tree at risk of falling. Homeowner pays?

[Yasmin Lopez]

I own my home. Rent the lot. Noticed Saturday that the tree had a huge crack was leaning and could fall anytime. Notified property manager. Emailed the office also. Nothing come Sunday the crack has gotten bigger. Kept calling all numbers emailing them and all no response. Sunday night there were 60mph winds storm warning. So tree would not make it through the night. Immediate body harm, life injury, and or property damage was a high risk. Called a professional to come handle it Sunday night. Monday comes and I kept emailing and calling all parties no response finally Tuesday the property manager response and says even though we didn't respond the tree should had not been touched. So basically they have no protocol on emergency after hours number to get in touch with someone. Here it is Thursday. 5 days after the original contact was made and still no response from owners they don't was to reimburse. If it wasn't taken care of immediately lives were as risk and property damage. I couldn't even stay in my own home bc of this risk.

@Carlos Ptriawan.... read the post.... he got it cut and is now trying to get paid back. Its a done deal already.

Bottom line..... you did everything right and now you have t

get paid by who ?
insurance company typically has very little reimbursement for tree cutting. 

 No one is going to reimburse the poster for cutting this tree. It's highly likely the people that came out were simple tree cutting services, not educated arborists (who gets 3 estimates in an emergency?) and of course they're going to say sure let's cut the tree because that's how they make a living. You also don't get paid what might happen, only on what does happen. It's entirely possible the tree never falls, or only part of it falls, or it falls and misses the house altogether. Even a leaning tree might fall another way; I had a tree get struck by lightning last year and instead of falling downhill, it was uprooted and fell uphill on my house.

Bottom line is that if you take matters into your own hands, don't expect anyone to pay you.
