Landlord Responsibilities during weather-caused power outage

Account Closed
Posted

Hi there,

I live in a older recently renovated multi-family community and in the last monsoon storm a power surge caused all our electrical to the community to be fried. The property management did admit that some of the components in the electric box were very dated and had some recalls. It’s been about a week now and we still do not have any updates or timeline of when this will be fix. They have to completely rebuild and rewire the electric. So my question is what rights do I have as a tenant/renter? I’ve tried reaching out to my rental insurance about all the groceries in my fridge going bad and they do not cover those expenses. Management has put us in a hotel for the time being but it is still a inconvenience with traveling to work and not being able to do daily tasks like cook or do laundry. Any advice will be much appreciated!
