I recently had a water leak at my apartment. As a result, two large fans and two large dehumidifiers were left running for a little over 48 hours. I have spoken with people in similar situations and was told that the utility fees will be substantially higher as a result of the water meter spinning and the 4 large pieces of drying equipment. I asked my leasing company if they would help cover the excess cost when the energy bill and the water bill arrived. The leasing company said that the section in my lease recommending renter's insurance is for instances like this. I do have renter's insurance and I spoke with them and was told that this was the responsibility of the leasing company. Is the owner responsible for paying the excess utility fees as a result of maintenance work, or am I?
