    Hurricane coming landlord still hasn't repaired roof

    i I regret that I haven't written to memorialize all my requests for roof repairs. Ivan will effect us here on Tues. and I doubt the tarp will help. Found what I think is the appropriate agency to deal with fit for habitation standards in the VICode.

    Hurricane coming landlord still hasn't repaired roof

    Lucky so far. LL got up on the roof to repair, comes unexpected rain in the night and it leaked! So now there's a tarp up there and he says he'll get a contractor to fix the whole thing. It's difficult to remain calm when one has been begging for mos. for this work to be done. They simply do...

    Hurricane coming landlord still hasn't repaired roof

    Hi, Seems like blondie is still on the run. Sounds like a nightmare. The evacuation alone would drive one crazy. The Fla peninsula is so long to drive and the whole state is vulnerable. There's a tropical storm south of the Cape Verde Islands that bares watching also. Hope all out there...

    Thanks a million! Will bookmark ! As I write they are working on the roof! If I wasn't an atheist I'd swear they got a "message" ! Can you imagine the Bahamas with no FEMA ? Went through Hugo and Marilyn here . Looks like Fla.is in for something horrible. Tanx

    By the way, I have tried in vain to find away to find the Virgin Islands Code on line without having a subscription. I don't understand enough to use the one that lawyers use. Is there a way to find rules that apply to the VI online?

    As we say down here Tanx!!!!!! I will wait to see if repairs begin . Don't want to begin an adversarial relationship unless I am forced . It's nice to know that there is help out there and I will fight like a tiger if I have to. :)

    Hurricane coming landlord still hasn't repaired roof

    Thanks so much for the advice. If the repairs do not begin next week as expected I will send the letter. I don't know what RRR means. Must the certified letter be in a certain form? Sure glad I found this forum. Makes me feel a little bit more empowered. :)

    Hurricane coming landlord still hasn't repaired roof

    Hi and thanks for you concern. Seems like we ducked this one as it's 10:15 and just a nice breeze and not even any showers for the cisterns! Spoke to my LL yesterday and he promised to fix the roof next week. We'll see. Seems as though being a good tenant doesn't even entitle one to a roof...
