A new renter used the washer inside the condo for the first time. She turns it on, then immediately leaves the condo to go shopping. The pump of the washer malfunctioned and flooded the condo plus produced water damage in the condo below.
Who is responsible for the damages? Is it me as the owner or the renter because of negligence?
To make matters worse, I'm a first time landlord and while in the process haven't yet signed up insurance. Any insight is very much appreciated.
