To make the long story short, I've reported a leak to my HOA after the first major storm of the season and then again, several times when I havent' heard anything from them. While on vacation, I've asked my parents to come by every so often to check on the leak. They lined the area with plastic and came by to toss water every other day 'cause it was so bad.

Faster forward today... i came home to a 4'x4' and growing wetspot in the carpet. because of the where leaks are, i can't catch everything and water is still seeping onto the carpet. the leak has gotten worse 'cause the entire corner on the ceiling is basically leaking, there's a bubble in the ceiling where there wasn't before. I've tossed a good 1+ gallon of water out since i got home late this evening (in the last 4 hours).

To make matters worse, it's going to be storming for at least the next 3 days and several days in the next week.

Okay, so my questions are:

1. Should I call the HOA manager first thing this morning to report this as an emergency?? Will she be able to do something about it??

2. HOA is reponsible for fixing the leak since it's related to the exterior of the building. But if they don't fix the leak quickly enough which results in water damage to my personal property, the carpet, and ceiling, with possible development into a mold issue in the ceiling and carpet. Who's officially responsible for paying for the replacement of my personal property, carpet, and ceiling?


I need some input 'cause it's getting pretty bad in here!!!!
