My landlord did a re roof without a permit and it failed catastrophically. What are the penalties under the law for doing this? As the roof came off in the first hurrican that came along. He also collected insurance money for this. Is this also legal? My family suffered trumatic emotional harm from watching our property damaged and my wife had a ceiling fall in on her.

Him pocketing the money may not be illegal but it is againist the law to rent out a property that is considered uninhabitable. Any structure must have basics like a roof, be free of pests, having running water and electricity. What you need to do is report the landlord to the housing authority and get a city or county inspector to come out and make sure the property is up to code. From what you said it probally is not. They will fine the landlord accordingly and handle any court procedures to follow.

enable? we don' choose for no stinking enable! somewhat, the main hardship-loose techniques a non-accepted challenge gets busted in a bigger city is whilst a contractor does pull a enable in a while for a job the owner hires out and the inspector on that activity notices something that isn't finished to code interior sight the section he's examining, or there is artwork finished in a close-by the place the assessment card shows unfinished, like a basement. the different is the nosy neighbor you gave the finger to final fall whilst he honked a hi at you on a foul day.
