Landlord said my leaky pipe was 'character' - then the ceiling fell in
I lived in this old place in Cleveland, and for three months I told my landlord about a slow drip under the kitchen sink. He kept saying it added 'character' to the apartment and that I should just put a bucket there (seriously). Then one Tuesday at 2am the whole ceiling in the hallway crashed down, soaking my couch and ruining my rug. He had the nerve to ask if I had renter's insurance after that. Has anyone else had a landlord ignore obvious damage until it became a disaster?

My buddy had a similar thing in his old building in Chicago... the super kept saying the flickering lights were "vintage vibe" until the whole fuse box caught fire at 3am. Had to move out for two weeks while they fixed it, landlord tried to charge him for the hotel too.
