No way did he put buckets down to save the wood floor.
When my husband and I rented the rental home it was going to shambles. We got a great deal on a single family home in the city. It was right near all the shops, bars and restaurants. I could ride my bike to either of my brother’s homes. It was so convenient. It sucked having one bathroom but we each had our own roof. It had wood floors and a decent kitchen. There were things that needed repairs that the landlord just wouldn’t do. Due to this, his rental isn’t going to last long. My husband and I complained about the AC time and time again. The landlord said no to a new cooling system. Well because the air conditioner doesn’t work great, there was a lot of moisture in the home. Mold and mildew was a constant problem. Their drywall is squishy in some places. The worst is that the guy ignored the roof repair while we were there. Water would come in multiple places when it rained. Our area gets rain all the time too. I would put buckets down to save the floor but the ceiling was a wreck. It was spongy and falling in places. I know the guy who rented after us. No way did he put buckets down to save the wood floor. So because the landlord won’t hire roofers, he is going to need a new ceiling and floors quite soon. You have to invest to save your property. A roof repair would have been a cheap update. Now he will need a brand new roof.
