Landlord responsible to clean up water?

Bill Rainsburger

Posted

Due to heavy rains an apartment that's below ground level is waterlogged. Carpet and pad are soaked. A crew is pumping out water and running fans, has removed 1000 gallons so far in 24 hours. The areas under heavy furniture, boxes, etc are still squishy and the place can't be dried out without moving all the furniture and belongings around, so that the carpet can be pulled up and fans and pumps put in place.

Landlord will not move furniture and belongings in order to dry out the carpet, they consider it the tenant's obligation.

Who's responsible for moving the furniture around to get the apartment back to being inhabitable ? (State of Indiana)
