Now my apartment complex charge for wate and it is on the a sliding scale where it is divided between the building. Now my concern is that they are going to charge me for using extra water because the bathroom flooded and I had to wash clothes that had gotten wet. So is there any way I can prevent this because is not my fault that the apartment flooded or I have to suck it up and take it.

Please if anybody knows let me know.

Thanks

Yes, they will need to file a claim, but it needs to be done before it gets worse.

My rental office was flooded about a year ago, it took a water damage company about a month to get the office dried out and repaired. You will want to make sure the moisture is completely out of the floors and walls, or it can turn into mold or dry rot. I would insist that your manager contact a emergency restoration company immediately. They have the tools and equipment to test and repair the unit. That’s my rental advice to you!
