If the sliding doors were locked then you may have a case,the force and power of last weeks storm would push water in everywhere,just stand your ground with the real estate agent,rather then just bend over and let nature take it's course,...imho..Hi,
Im a tenant in a property. I had left the ranch slider opened but had locked the aluminum sliding doors. Due to the severe storm in brisbane last week, the carpet got wet.

Hi,
Im a tenant in a property. I had left the ranch slider opened but had locked the aluminum sliding doors. Due to the severe storm in brisbane last week, the carpet got wet.
Who is responsible for cleaning the carpet? The agent is asking me to pay for the clean.
Much appreciated.
If the door was closed, water got in - owner's problem
If the door was closed, window smashed - owner's problem
If the door was open, water got in - tenant's problem
If you do nothing, underlay will rot, go mouldy - your responsibilty to have carpet repaired
Would be tenants responsibility but even if it went through the owners insurance, which I would try for the owner and tenant, tenant will need to pay the excess if any.
This is another reason why it is recommended that tenants also take out insurance. To cover them for things that they have a liability to cover, not the least of which is personal injury to an invited guest.
, the carpet got wet.
Im an Insurance Assessor
landlord..end of story.
water damage due to storm event, they lodge claim, gets fixed, they pay excess,
If tenant leaves window open or door, they are liable.
I thought the same thing!So, in the case of the initial post, who is liable.
Your reply seems not too clear, but maybe that is just me...
