I would also suggest telling them that you feel you shouldn’t have to pay for any rent during the repair period. Don’t forget to give them a specific time-frame to respond such as 3 business days. Certified mailings are always the best choice when it comes to documenting the problem.

Wow! Talk about horrible time for a major crisis like this. Although it seems complicated it actually can be quite simple. Most of what has happened is regulated by the agreement you signed or by statute. Even though the management company is claiming they are not responsible, equally important is that you are not responsible either. Most rental agreements will have a clause in the lease that says something about “Rent Abatement.” If your contract has such a statement, you are not responsible for paying rent.
Might be time to file a complaint with the RPA…
