Emergency situation- apartment flooded
2 years ago
We were forced to leave our apartment after it flooded on Wednesday, April 26th. We were originally told we could stay in the unit, but on Thursday the 27th we were made to scramble and find some last minute motel to be able to have a place for my partner, myself, our 2 reptiles, amphibian, and the 3 cats While the apartment management had a company come out to heat the apartment to over 100°F and run dehumidifiers as well. We were upgraded by the insurance to a best Western premier but we don't have a kitchenette so we cannot cook and rely on what restaurants and fast food joints are around us to eat.
Then came May 3rd when I was called at work and told that we had to pack all of our things and be out of the unit fully by may 4th. We had to pay out of pocket for a bunch if packing things like boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and totes for our apartments to put our things in a portable storage container for 30 days. I had to take off work on May 3rd and roll over into May 4th and 5th while I try to explain and argue to my Adjuster what's going on with the unit since he wanted to originally do a tour of the unit and see all the damages. Since he was off on Wednesday May 3rd, we couldn't do a tour before being forced out of the unit. I took as many videos and pictures as possible but he has been adamant on doing a tour which will only delay how long it takes us to get our pay back.
Our renters insurance is covering some things for us and we will get payouts from it, but our Adjuster said that could be weeks if not over a month away or longer with the new changes of the whole bottom floor of the building, and we need the money asap. We had to throw out several hundred dollars of food thay we had just bought before this happened because we've been out of the unit for a week and things went bad. We also have to do laundry in the hotel which is way more expensive than our apartments were.
My Adjuster said he would work on getting us more long term housing with a kitchen so we do not need to keep buying fast food, but the available housing market in Denver and Aurora is pretty scarce and he said it could potentially be difficult and take a while to acquire it.
While in the long run we will be able to work things out, in the short term we are a sinking ship unable to stay afloat with my income, especially with having to miss work.
We are asking for any assistance and donations folks can offer at this time. Spreading the word is greatly appreciated, even if you can't donate potentially getting the word out to someone who can help does help us.
Thank you for everyone who reads this for taking the time to read about our situation 💜
