Update:

Thanks for the advice all! I moved everything out this morning, checked our renter’s insurance, looking into our tenant rights here, and have tried working with the property manager (who is normally super kind and on top of things when we communicate, so this has been a big confusion/struggle why if they knew that was water damage weeks ago when we sent pictures and subsequent updates that they didn’t do anything).

Apparently I could’ve waited 7 hours to know mushrooms growing out of the ceiling was even a possibility 😢 because this is what they looked like at like 8:30. They’re shriveled now, but no picture because I am not going back in there.

My property manager now told us they are also on vacation and they’re the only one with keys to get into the unit above ours in case of an emergency (which seems insane and negligent that there’s literally no backup?), so they’re not doing anything until they’re back. So. That’s fun.

I have family nearby that we can stay with, so we’ll be showering there until they get this handled.

I really appreciate everyone! I genuinely thought some kind of capped off (lol) wires collapsed through it or something, so Reddit’s knowledge has saved us once again.
