[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 704904, member: 1233"] He is moved into another apartment. My parents did a whole lot of laundry for him, basically washing every single thing he owned. He had no furniture to be ruined, and none of his electronics got wet. His kitchen stuff all got wet but none were ruined. He didn't think he needed renter's insurance, so he won't get anything for the belongings that were ruined. That is how it is in our state. But his landlord didn't try to charge him for damages. Wiz got a different apartment, they cleaned out the apartment without charging him on the security deposit (just some stuff on the floor, but he was exhausted after spending 3 days dealing with the water and wet belongings), and they have been more helpful than we expected. He did lose about $300 worth of books, but he says that was his own fault for not being more careful with them and not having insurance. I am not inclined to argue that with him. Thanks for the good thoughts. It was touch and go for a couple of days as to if he would just sink into depression or if he would deal with this and move on like an adult. I am glad to say that he did not give in to the depression! I am very proud of the way he handled it all. He didn't even miss work to take care of it, though he did ask us all for help. We were happy to help, mostly because he was working so hard to help himself. [/QUOTE]
