I had a flood and it was my fault because of my dog. What am I responsible for?
August 24th, 2010 | by admin |SavvyLynn asked:
My apartment was flooded by my dog chewing on a water pipe in the bathroom when i was at work. I came home and my apartment had been flooded as well as the one beneath me. The neighbor below me lost a few items. I do not have renters insurance and she does not have renters insurance. I have to cover the costs of the constant fans and dehumidifiers in both apartments and the fixing of the cracked ceiling beneath me. Will I be responsible for her items that she lost during the freak accident that was my dogs fault?

It could go both ways. I wouldn’t pay her unless she was your friend or something. If she wants money she should sue. Your defense is that is what renter’s insurance is for.

Depending on your states law you could be.
I am in Texas, if that were to happen here you would have to cover ALL charges including damged or loss items of anyone and everyone affected.

Can they prove it was your dog? if they not know, try to keep quiet, and play dumb… but I am assuming they know by now.
In plain in English, Yes, you have to pay. Your landlord is allowed to sue you.

The damage to the water damage your dog does this isnt normal weartearleak kinda thing so ultimately think youll be responsible for her items and the walls.

In Texas most policies do not cover losses due to pets. Bottom Line: Why don’t you have renters insurance? It sounds to me that your out of luck and will be left paying the damages.
