During the holidays, no one answers or they say they can't help. The main property manager hangs up on me and says he can't do anything to help & to talk to the unit's property manager. The Board president is not returning my 2 calls. The upstair's unit's current property mgr. has never cooperated with me once in 16 or 17 years. It's a condo-complex. RE: sending them, a bill, I have gone through and continue to go though hell for over a month. I only have one option =to sue them. I DON'T WANT TO. I DON'T WANT ANY TIES TO THIS COMPLEX OR EVEN THIS STATE. I have a $1,000 deductible too. (on each claim).Sounds like you are in an apartment type complex? The water shut-off valves are usually in the basement or utility room, but sometimes they can be in the maintenance closet of the room directly below (you). The complex's maintenance man should have the ability to turn off only their water for situations just like this one...to prevent damage to your/their property. If it's really leaking into your apartment, complain to someone in the office, or to the landlord. And send them a bill for your damage.
I never give a deposit. Get a lien release from all contractors & sub-contractors. Otherwise you will be on the hook if a sub or material supplier does not get paid by the contractor.Wondering if there are any insurance adjusters or contracters out there, or anyone else with knowledge of things like hiring water damage construction companies. Originally, my ins. adjuster gave a report of about $2400+ damage. I had a restoration company involved, an environmental testing company and an asbestos removal company who supplied the dehumidifier. Today the water restoration company told me he talked to the adjuster and now my loss is $4,200+ and he has a construction company too. He said he can do reconstruction and only charge me $500 of the $1,000 deductible. He said he has been working with this adjuster for 6 years doing this. I think I somehow am getting played, or something strange is happening. I signed a contract with him to fix it starting on Thursday and gave him $1,000 deposit. Any advice?
I wrote him a check and signed a contract...I think there was something really fishy about what happened. Can I cancel the contract?I never give a deposit.

What do you mean by a lien release? Do you mean after the job is completed? I postdated the check for tomorrow when it is supposed to begin too.I never give a deposit.

No, prior to or with the contract. It protects you from paying for material or services twice if the contractor or any of the subs skip with their money vs paying the supplier.What do you mean by a lien release?

He said he will give me the lien release at the end of the job.No, prior to or with the contract. It protects you from paying for material or services twice if the contractor or any of the subs skip with their money vs paying the supplier.
Your building inspector or an attorney should know your location's rules as they vary by state and by local government.
We had a family member forced to pay for 80% of the lumber used on a new house (Mass.) twice when their carpenter contractor skipped to Fla.
Absolutely!! "Going" in a bucket in your own home is NOT fun. (I expect to go in a bucket camping though!) Baths are such an awesome luxury too. When I go on the road, I plan on buying a portable blow up bath tub too or checking in a hotel weekly(?) to get my "real" bath. Daily sponge baths can suffice supplementally.You don't know how much the basics matter until you don't have them anymore.
