Tenant Shares Catastrophic Flooding in Home After Landlord Wouldn’t Shut Off Water During Storm

“The ultimate landlord special was mine refusing to turn the water off for four days straight during the Portland ice storm,” Jella wrote in a text overlay of her video.

In the 21-second clip, she walks throughout the house, detailing the extreme flooding that took place as a result of what she says was the landlord’s negligence.

Her clip shows a home that is entirely flooded and dripping water from the ceiling. Pools of liquid have formed on the floor, with pieces of sheet rock and wood hollowed out/collapsed throughout the home. Debris lays everywhere. There are exposed beams of wood, rendering the home a scene out of Tyler Durden’s residence in Fight Club .

In a lengthy caption attached to the post, Jella explains what happened and how her family’s life was turned upside down as a result of the damage and how they’ve lost a bunch of their belongings: “On January 14th due to the combinations of the portland ice storm and negligence from our landlord, our beloved mid-century home of 3 years is being deemed condemned and uninhabitable,” she wrote.
