Landlord Issue seeking advice

[Brandon Glasgow]

Hello all I'm a avid listener and about to make my first purchase 2 unit hope to mingle and get tips and as I progress give . But as for now I have a question about being a renter Me and my family of 4 wife and two kids 7 and 12 are living in a townhouse in concord CA , the pipes had a issue there was 1. Flooding 2. Flooring has to be replaced downstairs and in our room and kids room 3. Asbestos was found 4. Abatement has begun House is upside down and a mess we have to be out . Landlords are basically keeping us in the dark and this all started the 29th of April we are now at the 10th of May and asbestos team is finally here . My family is at there grandmas I am at a friends closer to work not enough room there At this point . The landlord has only said $63 a day is what the insurance will pay out beginning only with the asbestos abatement . We already paid this months rent as it's automatically deducted from my account on the 27th of each month so May is paid . I wondered why the flooring in kids room and our room was taking so long and I contacted the company and they said the owners are waiting for the insurance company to pay out . So they have stopped . Up to this point I have been reasonable bc things happen , but now after contacting the landlord he is only saying I'm obligated to pay out insurance of $63 per day when asbestos begins he said he will cover damaged items to give receipts though . At this point what are my rights do we have any ? Thanks in advance for any advice

It's not that the landlord isn't repairing, but this tenant is a family of 4, the funds the landlord is offering is simply not adequate," Who Cares" how much the landlord's cost is to repair,, this isn't the tenants worry it's the landlords.. 10 days is way to long for emergency I've dealt with fire, flood and blood and can tell you a "company" dealing with this type of issues should have been sent by the insurance company to start ASAP. 10 days is like 9 days to long. I've dealt with tenants that have been displaced by just about every and any thing you could imagine,  and can say this tenant has been more than patient and is now in the position to demand proper attention, for loss of housing. The tenant did not mention his personal property being damaged and he should have insurance to cover his own belonging.

If the tenant had renters insurance, maybe his coverage would extend for displacement and then his insurance company would go back after the landlords insurance for mitigated damages.
