My mom lives in an independent senior apartment community in Clearwater. The building has been without A/C for 5 days. She has severe COPD, so I had to spend over $500 on a hotel because it wasn't safe for her to stay there.

The building has also had flooding and was under a 24-hour fire watch because the fire protection system was impaired. They're slowly handing out portable A/C units, but my mom still hasn't received one.

Is this something that should be reported to Clearwater Code Enforcement or the Fire Marshal? Has anyone had success getting reimbursed for hotel costs or receiving a rent credit in a situation like this?

I'm just looking for advice from anyone who's been through something similar.

What really hurts is that the last 5 days the few workers there would leave and not even care that many seniors would be suffering these nights.
