In Reply to: repairs after flood - what are my rights? posted by Mario S on March 05, 1998 at 10:57:03:

: Last month I had a flood in my apartment (caused by another tenant).
The parquet wood floor was partially damaged, as well as th kitchen floor.
We also have damage to the ceiling and walls.
: After a discussion with our super we purchased (at our own expense)
marble flooring for the bathroom and kitchen.

SO it appears the super gave you permission.

Now the building manager tells us we cannot install it, that we can
only replace the equivalent of what already exists, plus the floor
will only be refinished where there was water damage.

The owner's obligation is to repair that which was damaged, but as the
super had given you permission and you spent money, they should allow you to
cover the floor. It's not like you are tearing down walls or anything.
