Apartment Flooded, LandLord delaying actions.
My apartment was flooded recently due to water heater break. Around 40 Gallons of water flooded all my rooms. The carpet in the room which was fully wet was not removed by the landlord for 2days after flooding.
The landlord also asked me to keep the AC on so as to dry the floor after the carpet was removed. I pay all the utilities. I am staying in a hotel for a week.
After a week mold is forming on my walls. I have also lost money because I did not work for 2.5 days.
I have apt insurance. But Can I file a lawsuit against my landlord for failing to promptly take action to replace the carpet and cleaning the apartment.
The apartment is in New Jersey.
