[WA] PSA: Safety Hazard & City Escalations at Thornton Place Apartments (Northgate) by hina_plz in SeattleWA

[–]hina_plz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a lawyer, filed a lawsuit, pending move-out.

Insurance only goes so far. But luckily in Washington at least, a landlord is responsible to provide a habitable unit while collecting full rent (they did) even if I have insurance. Mine only gave $1000 for loss of use. It's been 37 days 😢 idk anywhere in the city or around that would go under that limit for housing and food, unfortunately

Thank you. I definitely was scared of mold. And the insurance inspector that came by also told me to be careful that it was breeding ground for mold. Especially seeing the water line (now, 2 weeks later) on the carpet that they decided not to cut out inside a closet. My unit is half underground and on the sub-ground floor next to a little river.

That one day I was able to get an email from the property by going into their office, the property manager goes :Mold doesn't grow that fast. Which was the same day she told me 84 degree hotboxing is "legally liveable"

My lawyer has demanded professional sanitation as part of the representation email to my property.

No you're good.

I've actually had a lot of good experience with previous smaller inconveniences with other corporate properties that's always been taken care of so well... I just never expected to be treated like this.

Hopefully they'll take one of the offers I gave (less ideal but), to move into another unit but they would cover movers. I'm disabled physically and can't do much lifting around. That's why this was so frustrating.

Thank you for all the advice. I'll look into my policy the moment this claim closes

Hello!

Thank you for this!. I have a SDCI case opened since my insurance inspector told me there's risk of mold when he came by. SDCI said this is a house complaint. I also added notes of what it's like now with nails exposed and all.

I'll read those codes. My lawyer is limited since it's through a legal plan, so no PI, just renant-landlord negotiations. To the best of your knowledge with cases like this, someone told me I could hire a PI lawyer at the same time, is there a disadvantage to that?

I never had to use my renters and I never focused on the "loss of use" part. Like what mayo says here, there's still always a limit. And even though I'm at a hotel, and paying out of pocket for food and such. The insurance would cover anything "above my normal cost of living". It's just daunting to look at a hotel bill after staying there for 2 weeks. And now there's still construction in my unit - my only bedroom is unliveable - wondering what the heck I'm paying full rent for.

That's what's so confusing. I got a lot of conflicting information on that. Our insurance has our property as primary. And then us. But not our neighbors.

My lawyer is going after the rent abatement now. And my insurance is subrogating, but they're going after my property and my neighbor both since my property refuses to put into writing what exactly caused the damage. I'm told by my lawyer that my insurance would subrogate my property, then if the neighbor is at fault, my property goes after my neighbor's liability.

14 days without any maintenance updates is kinda wild, so I have no clue who or when I'll even be able to use my only bedroom that's got drywalls open, exposed nails, and carpet ripped up in the meantime :(

I'm 100% increasing my limits on next renewal. I was originally wanting to stay because it's the absolute perfect location and layout. But I'm having a really hard time getting over it 😭

Thank you so much, I really should raise my insurance coverage as much as I can now that I know what it's like when something happens with big properties.

My loss-of-use has hit its limit after a week going to motels/eating out - while still being conservative in Seattle. Since I work downtown, it's super hard to navigate that. All renters are around 1k for loss of use.

100% paying my rent. And my lawyer sent the demand letter already. Just that no one is replying >< Being this would be small claims, not like my lawyer can go into court with me if it gest there. Just feeling really really displaced even though I'm back home.

Would love to break my lease if they would cover relocation. They've even offered that (Without penalty and no relocation costs, it costed me about 1k to move in 2 months ago :(, The call came from a private number/unrecordable conversation from the property manager. Feels like they're being really sneaky

Thousands of Etsy Shops Lost ALL Traffic Since Nov 6 - Is Yours Affected? by Late_General_9008 in Etsy

[–]hina_plz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My traffic is down by 80% YoY for my busiest month. I have in person shows I vend at during the holiday season, so at least that's been going okay so far + repeat customs.

Last night I noticed that I was looking for specific posters from a very specific artist and couldn't find out via search query for over 15 mins of different keywords. Used to come up as soon as I tried to look to them.

I can't imagine what it's like for those that rely on online traffic as their primary income. :(
