I have a condo rental unit that was and is still flooded from this weekends floods in Nashville. There was about 3 feet of water sitting in it as of last night at 8:00, and was down about 6 inches or so this morning at 8:00. No flood insurance, but it was in a 500 year flood plain so supposedly could not get it, and seemingly did not need it, about 50 yards away and 40 feet above the Cumberland River.
My wife, son, father in law and I got a lot of the tenants stuff out, she has been sick and out of town. Her boyfriend did come to help later in the afternoon, and we took most of it to my garage and basement.
I was looking for some tips and info from people that may have had the same experiences, ie Katrina, Miss. floods, etc. There is no Federal Disaster declared yet, I have tried to register with FEMA. What is it like dealing with FEMA?
What are some things to know about dealing with his kind of situation? What are my responsibilities to the tenant? She can stay with her boyfriend. Her lease is up the end of July. It was kind of funny, I pulled up after taking a load to the house and her boyfriend had gotten there and he handed me May’s rent check from the tenant.
It is a condo, so what are the associations responsibilities in this? I can’t get through to them “all circuits are busy”. I don’t know if the assoc. had flood insurance. There are several thousand houses destroyed so FEMA will be swamped if and when they open up. Just looking for some tips how to handle it all.
Thanks.
