HELP- Toilet flood
Last week or so, my apartment completely flooded due to the toilet overflowing. The handyman came to my apartment to assess and tried blaming me for “clogging the toilet “ and then also proceeded to mention that a flapper on the toilet needed to be replaced. The toilet constantly runs and makes that running water noise…my landlord left an HVAC to dry the floors out but is trying to blame a $7000 water bill on me, i texted him a video of what the toilet does. Im also trying to leave said apartment because anytime i leave home now, i shut the toilets water valve off because i dont trust another flood wont happen randomly…i initially paid 3xs the rent (4650) to move in, i paid 1st, security and last month rent! i already paid Mays rent and intend on being out of the apartment no later than May 30th but was wondering in terms of deposit would i get back security deposit and last month rent since technically i overpaid…?! or how does this work! also, how does it work that his toilet caused a flood? ive never flushed anything other than toilet pallets down the toilet!!
