Hi I was hoping someone can help with this problem.
I am a renter and have just discovered that the wood under the vinyl tiles in the bathroom has water damage and is rotting. There has been a leak from the sink that I had put a bucket under but it obviously didnt catch all the leaks. My kids also splash water when they are in the bath and that has added to the problem.
Who is liable for this damage? I feel really bad because I should have reported the leaking sink much earlier. However I dont think it is completely our fault because vinyl tiles in the bathroom are ridiculous as they are not waterproof.
What should we do? It is really stressing me out. I feel worse than if this was my own house, I really did not want to cause any damage to their property.
