Dear legal/lawyer side of twitter, my girlfriend and I are in need of legal advice. The apartment above ours flooded their entire apartment causing severe damage to our ceiling, walls and possibly floors.
The damage is so bad that even the maintenance guy that is in charge of fixing our apartment, says this is the worst he’s ever seen.
On top of that, my girlfriend has an autoimmune disease that makes it detrimental for her if she were to get sick. There is a high possibility of there being mold in our apartment with how bad it has gotten.
When we went to our apartment manager with our concerns, (as the maintenance guy suggested), she basically told us there was nothing they could do and we aren’t allowed to break our lease and leave.
I’d like to note that none of the people in the office were wearing masks. In Maricopa county it is mandated to wear mask in any social situation, unless you’re alone. Both her & I are already starting to feel sick (coughing and probable fever hopefully due to the open insulation
The manager basically laughed in our face when we told her that there is a real high possibility of my girlfriend dying if she gets sick, and we are also terrified of getting the people coming into our apartment to fix everything getting sick.
They aren’t taking anyone’s health and safety into consideration and we are being belittled and laughed at for being concerned about our wellbeing.
So please, if anyone knows of anyone, or if you could help by retweetjng this thread to help find someone who can help us, we would forever be grateful.
