# AI Legalese Decoder: Assisting with Landlord Insurance Claims
## Situation Overview: Burst Pipe and Insurance Claim
Recently, I installed a bidet and unfortunately, due to high water pressure, the pipe burst in the middle of the night. It has been a challenging situation to deal with. Then, just yesterday, I received a letter from TD (my landlord’s insurance company) informing me that they have claimed an amount of $13,500 from my landlord, which I am expected to repay to the insurance company.
## Current Financial Struggle
As a tenant without any insurance coverage, this sudden financial burden is overwhelming. With a monthly income of only $2,000 and expenses amounting to $1,950, it seems impossible to pay such a significant sum. This predicament leaves me wondering what the best course of action might be.
## Potential Consequences: Ignoring the Situation
One possible temptation is to ignore the claim and simply leave the premises. However, this could lead to legal repercussions and further financial liabilities. The landlord may take legal action to recover the claimed amount, resulting in additional costs and potential damage to your rental history.

****** just grabbed a
Did the landlord authorize the bidet install? No? Mistake #1
Do you have insurance? No? Mistake #2
You’re going to have to pay.

This is going to be an expensive lesson on:
1) why you need renters insurance
2) why you should hire a plumber
Good luck
Expensive course in how not to do plumbing. Also expensive lesson in why renter’s insurance is a need not a want.
Unfortunately, I think you are going to have to find a way to make some more money.
There is no way out of it. You are at fault.
Call TD and tell them you don’t have insurance and you don’t have income to pay. See what they say. Might be they can reduce the amount or let you pay small installments.
Or don’t, and see if they sue you for it.
NAL. I am in the architecture field though.
1. Unauthorized plumbing modification.
2. The modification was not done by a professional (plumber), nor it was signed or approved by one.
3. No insurance.
It will be extremely hard for you to try and claim you’re not solely and fully responsible for the damages.
Why the hell do you not have insurance?
Renters insurance is only around $20-$30 a month, get it asap. You are gonna have to pay insurance company, you can probably get a payment plan with them, and pick up a second job
Do you not have Tennant’s insurance?
Sounds like you made a $13,500 mistake. Not sure how you’re only making $2k a month, that’s less than minimum wage. Time to get a real job, and get some insurance
While it’s a mistake, it sounds like the landlord was made whole and the insurer is going after you personally.
Realistically will TD launch litigation to obtain a court order for those funds? That’s anyone’s guess, but both sides will need to realize that you can’t really squeeze blood from a stone.
If I were you I would just tell TD that I have no money or insurance and see what happens. They might just drop it then and there.
What kind of bidet was it? I can’t see the kinds that attach on to a toilet to be able to cause that much damage unless you left it for a long time (by pipe I’m not sure if you mean an actual pipe, or the water line to an attachment). Assuming it was an actual pipe and the damage is real, you don’t have much options.
For starters, tenant insurance is something you should have. A lot of places don’t let you rent without it. For your current predicament maybe talk with your landlord and see if you can work something out. I would also suggest looking at your current budget and seeing what you can cut out. $1950 when you only take home $2000 is living way too close to the edge. I understand in many cases we can’t save as much as we would like, but if you only have a $50 cushion after paying your needs, we should try to cut that down a bit.
What did the instructions of the bidet say?
How on earth was a bidet a priority if, as you say, out of your 2,000$/month, 1950 is living expenses ?
Just don’t see this happening. I am left with 50$ at the end of the month and all I can think of is: “I need a bidet” ?
To everyone piling on OP, this is also on the landlord and a lesson for them. As a landlord myself I require all tenants to have their own tenant insurance. It’s in the lease and they have to show proof of coverage before they move in.Many people, especially newcomers to Canada and young or low-income people don’t understand why tenant’s insurance is important and that it is low cost, and it is in a landlord’s best interest to require it.
The insurance company is just doing its due diligence trying to recover funds from the responsible party but if you don’t pay it just becomes a claim on the landlord’s insurance and increases their premiums. The insurance company and/or the landlord could sue you for the money but at your income level they would be idiots to do so. You should probably be looking to find another place to live though as this is certainly grounds for eviction.
Weird the landlord didn’t require insurance. Is it a legal unit or paying by cheques or cash?
There is no way “out” of those for you, YOU caused the damaged with an appliance YOU brought into the house and altered the plumbing to use. Pay up, or you can kiss goodbye being able to get any other apartments.
It’s unfathomable to me that you didn’t/don’t have renters insurance.
Suddenly, my life doesn’t sound so stressful. Thanks OP!
Didn’t know a bidet can cause a pipe to burst, interesting.
claim bankruptcy and move.
Oof
The insurance company will sue you to get their money no matter what you do. Their lawyers are on salary and will work to ensure they recover the money they lost on your claim.
Are you a licensed plumber and you can certify that the installation work was free of defects? TD is not going to go away… 🥲
Time to double the amount of hours you work bud
Was it braided steel pipe?
Did the building had a pressure regulator? If not is that still your fault if the problem arose from that? Only your bidet busted? Other plumbing issues might have happened around the same time/date in your building, check it up with neighbours?
Don’t bother leaving, collections will find you. You’ll be charged interest, and ruin your credit – set up a payment arrangement with your landlord
How did you rent with renters insurance? Your landlord is a fool and he is going to pay the price. Just walkaway from this situation.
OP.
You never should have altered the landlord’s property. And you should never rent without paying for rental insurance.
However the only institution that can force you to pay that bill the landlord received is by an order from the LTB.
Holy crap. How is it possible? There is a post on Reddit where the landlord is not vilified and should take full responsibility? I was expecting comments saying that the bidet should have been put in for free in the first place and this poor fellow should been put up in an airbnb for a week while it was installed.
