On the day before Thanksgiving we had a sewer backup in our bathroom. The toilet overflowed and black water came up from the bathtub. Our landlord tried to fix the plumbing blockage and ONLY CLEAN the carpet rather than replacing the carpet and pad where the sewage soaked in. When I told her I did some research and I thought that her approach on handling the situation wasnt sufficient because of health issues that could arrise and the fact that my wife is pregnant and I already have a 12yr old, 1 Dog and 1 Cats. After I left numerous messages she finally called us back and wanted to come over to "access" the damage and the situation. When she came over she told me that she came to the conclusion that the best solution to this problem was to just have us move out. The main reason for their argument was becasue my wife was pregnant and she didnt want us to come back and blame them for one of us become sick in the future or worst case a miscarriage. She had no other reason to evict us other than her assumtions of what we "could" do down the road. The only way we could continue to rent from them is if we wrote a letter agreeing to NOT blame them for anything health related down the road as long as they replace the carpet and pad and also puting kilz down to protect from anything harmful. Can they kick us out for these reasons? It wasnt our fault that their pipes had roots growing in them. They are making assumption and kicking us out on those basis unless we write the letter. Is this fair? Can they do this? This is in Denver Colorado btw. It has now been almost 2 weeks and they still havent replaced the carpet and pad. So we will have had that nasty sewer water in out carpet and pads for 14 before they replace it.
