So when my roommates and I moved into this house two years ago in April it rained the day we planned to move and the house flooded. When we called the landlord over she showed us this incredibly small and basically useless sub-pump that needs to be turned on every time there is rain, to keep it from flooding the house. That seemed odd at the time, but we figured it was part of being in an older house. After a year of random rainfall and constant flooding in the house the landlord started trying to 'fix' the problem for good... Turns out that just meant having us be home every time she sent people out to basically inspect the area, then leave never to return again.. Fast forward to a couple of months ago after a bunch of rainfall and even more flooding she had us clean the entire yard in order for a concrete slab to be poured in an attempt to fix this flooding issue... well, they never came. in fact the only people who did show up were herself, her husband and her mother... they just looked around then told us to keep the gutter clear..

Anyways, what can we do? I was told by some coworkers of mine that also rent out housing that we could have her pay us our money back since the conditions are unlivable. Is this true, if not what are our options?

 

Thank you for your time,
