So while I was switching careers, and raising my son for awhile my wife and I decided to rent a TwinHome for a period of time (16 months to be exact) until we figured where we wanted to raise our cild, and what neighborhood would be best. Well that is where the latest line or problems is stemming and I will try my best to outline it on an abbreviated version with any specific law advice etc., is appreciated:
Ok, so we moved into this twinhome that had had been preparee nicely by the owners of the place, they actually lived next door to us for about 5 months, beofre themselves buying another place...and we did have a very nice relationship.
Well the particular question in this situation as their may be numerous more is that we are being charged for the rip up of and replacement of the "Pergo" wooded flooring that extended from the kitchen into the dining room. This is somehting that the owner installed himself before we moved in. Let's just say it was an ok job, with 1-2 CM gaps in some places and some faulty cutting in corners making it fit etc.
Well we had a carpet shampooer sitting in the litched that did leak less than a 6 oz glass full of water that sat on the floor forr about 20 minutes until it was noticed. Well this caused the "Pergo" to bubble up about 4-5 inches in the seam of the wood. We told them about it as it happened rather early in our stay, and they had mentioned to us make sure we tell anyone that comes out that is was only on their for a short time blah blah blah....(I think they were trying to get it covered by warranty) we told them we would tell the truth, and that it was only on their for a short period of time, and that it should not have done that.
Well we never heard anything more about it during our entire stay until our bad blood over our ending of the lease came into play, which caused us to move the closing of our house back a month. (Still pissed about that) well while waiitng for our deposit, we instead received a bill for $900 some odd dollars for the replacement of and installation of the new floor. WHich I do not thing is our fault at all! I say it is faulty installlationm, and if it was laid properly the seams would not have allowed water to seep into them in such a short period of time.
We did a video walk thorugh of the entire place, and have it on video showing the floor, and it's shoddy workmanship (gaps in the flooring) as well as the damage from water...what is the next step, as I do not and will not pay these rotten people. If I told you the rest of the story you would say they are rotten as well.
Also, if you happen to install flooring, or have worked on a paid basis with Pergo, I woul dalso like to talk with you, I want to make sure that this is recognized as installation error, and not our fault! It's principle more than money, but paying them anymore money for their profit would be horrible!
I will sit back and look for some advice...
