I have an extra spot in my driveway and am considering offering it for rent to one of these apartment dwellers.   

But yes, you should check the laws for your state first as some states are behind the times and have restrictions.Randall is spot on.

One is more permanent.Also know you seems to have a soil issue causing this and to keep the stairs in "tip Top" shape will require you inspecting them for future movement and having the re-slab jacked if needed.Stair problems are a lawsuit waiting to happen.They need to be spot on perfect at all times--not just close to OK.And it looks like that big tree to the left might be part of the problem.Or you could get some bids on a demo and re-pour.I did a quick Concept Mockup below.Good Luck!

There's no reason anyway for them to know who you really are, it helps take the emotions out of it all, and this way you never feel like you are being put on the spot. 

We have a couple "thrift" home supply spots where you can get vanities, flooring, cabinets, etc for cheaper.....they definitely come in handy

If the water backup is likely to be in an unfinished basement, your risk, and your need for the endoresment, is less than it is if the water would back up into the main living area of a home without a basement or crawl space. 

I imagine the spots that are easy like this to determine regulations will become saturated fairly quickly. 

Getting free fill dirt for low spots.  

Definitely no new cars or fancy watches for me in the near future, hopefully that will put me in a good spot a few years from now.
