Car Update!

Well...The manager of the building took responsibility for my car damage so they're going to pay for it. He thought it would only be a couple hundred to fix, but unfortunately for him, the estimate came out to $800 worth of damage. The only problem is, he doesn't know that yet!! Hope you have insurance Gary! Anyway, he said the wheelbarrow shouldn't have been there in the first place. THANK YOU! My thoughts EXACTLY!

Sally, glad your landlord was reasonable. I found this online for you:

MODERN RULE - DUTY OF OWNER, OCCUPANT OR LESSOR OF PREMISES

The owner, occupant or lessor of premises is under a duty to exercise ordinary care in the use, maintenance or management of such premises in order to avoid exposing persons or other property to an unreasonable risk of harm. Such duty exists whether the risk of harm is caused by the natural condition of such premises or by an artificial condition created on such premises--(i.e. a duty to warn you about a wheelbarrel he knew, or reasonably should have known, was blocking your parking space and could have damaged your car).

Here's the website if u want to check it out more.
