Texas tenant gets billed $5,887 after flood damage forced him out and cost him $9K, refuses to sign management’s lease release demanding he waive all claims for his losses

The most impressive part of this apartment flood story is management's ability to call an apartment "pretty much dry" while a tenant is standing in the aftermath of two inches of water, a cat has taken refuge on a closet shelf, and their own photographs show moisture readings that reach 41 percent. That's an ambitious interpretation of dry, to say the least, but it becomes harder and harder to defend once a restoration company cuts open two walls so the cavities behind them can actually be dried, because, you know, they're WET.
