Landlords chopped our fiber internet cable
[US- CA]
Hey all,
Landlords have workers doing some outside repairs and decided without warning to remove all the "dangling cables" which turned out to be our unit's internet. We lost access for 2 days which affected my work, cost me phone data and put a friend I look after remotely at risk. The landlords are refusing to pay anything for the damage saying the cable was damaged (I doubt it, I got fiber installed maybe 6-7 years ago).
Is there anything we can do to require them to pay for the damage incurred?
We installed and pay for this internet ourselves, it's not part of the rent.
[This is a rent controlled unit in San Francisco]
