In brief, I have a rented condo that was damaged due to an upstairs unit leaving their bathroom water on.

Just contact me directly via email or phone (both below in my signature block).

I have so many questions to help me get over my own mental block on the topic.

(see below)Above tenants have destroyed our bathrooms due to constant nasty toilet water damages.. and constant noise violations have caused my family to suffer from sleep deprivation.

If you try to do that, change the locks, turn off the power etc, it will make your life much harder at the court and you may pay her damages etc.

I just block them. 

So PART of the house is on a block foundation. 

A landlord, however, isn’t able to just sit back and do nothing while collecting rent from him for the remaining months of the lease.Generally, the law requires landlords to “mitigate their damages” and make a reasonable effort to re-rent the unit to another qualified tenant.

We fear they might damage the property just to spite us, we have more than 10 months to go on the lease.Question is - how much is a landlord's responsibility to please the tenant and should the tenant not show some courtesy by not constantly nagging us?

For example, where a duplex or quad can secured with standard residential financing, a medium sized apartment block will require things like environmental assessments, etc...
