I have an issue with my landlord in California. They tell you to not detail anything in this forum but in general there was an unexpected accident right outside my front door, my lease says I am liable for it even though it wasn't my fault and I am fine with it I want to repair the damage. The problem now is to find somebody to do the repair, the landlord said he would find somebody because the insurance company wants certain kind of repair done, etc etc,I told the landlord I was fine with it , but it has been 20 days and he will not bring anybody, if I call him he says "tomorrow" because he is busy today but he never shows up. I am getting tired of it because my lease is ending in 15 days, he won't give me an estimate or an idea of how much it will cost and my fear is he is planing on taking whatever chunk he wants of my 1500 dlls security deposit with the excuse that I didn't repair the damage.
I am also not very excited about the idea of hiring somebody myself because I ignore what the insurance company wants or needs , the landlord won't tell me. I really wanted him to hire whoever he wanted so I am not liable if it is not done properly.
I would like to know where I can find laws about this kind of incident, what are the steps to take. And any advice you guys could give me would be very appreciated. Thanks !
