Question : What is the statute of limitations against apartment complex a landlord/property management co. in California?
Electrical wiring within the apartment unit was inadequate, causing overheating that resulted in a power short on two occasions, the second time requiring a technician to be called out. Prior to these circuit breaks (blackouts), tenant called management office about her lights dimming and brightening, stereo turning on and off by itself during the night, as well as coming home to no electricity and having to reset the circuit breaker. The response from the apartment managers in the office was that she needed to unplug all appliances when not in use.
An electrician was hired to fix the damage, and included in his written report that the tenant retained a copy of, that there were loose wire connections that resulted in loss of integrity to the conductor insulation due to overheating. He also left the tenant with 3 pieces of the old wiring. Damage to her property was worth about $ 300 from equipment affected by the power surge.
