Sorry to hear this hope its sorted much sooner than later.
Thank you. I'm not sure if it is sorted out though. They came by today to vacuum the water from the carpet and put a huge fan to blow it dry, but its been blowing for 7 hrs now and its only gotten a bit drier. I don't know why they would try to blow it dry when the padding under the carpet has not been removed. They told me the padding underneath the carpet would need to be replaced since it wont be able to dry with the fan. But they didn't rip the carpet up to do so.
i don't know about this maintenance.
I wonder how my neighbor's apartment is looking

Water makes such a mess - a dehumidifier may help dry out quicker - that's what the insurance company put in my house when a water tank sprung a leak in my attic and gave me a water feature through two floors!! Will you have to pay for the neighbours damage too?

perhaps just a bit of damage control just now? i have to literally pressure wash car interiors at work sometimes to the point there is puddles on seats and carpets! it can be a lengthy process to fully dry, but it is worth doing right... if not mould will appear and can be a nightmare to eradicate.

I'm sure downstairs will be ok :), it will be mostly cosmetic damage i'm sure. it's obvious that you care and I'm sure they will appreciate that and have no hard feelings:)

100%. I think gillan should go on that holiday, even just a week. hopefully lola is looking after lyn and she's feeling better
Lola has been really cheering me up and making me laugh this week - he has started wiggling his backside when I scratch his shell - he's not done it before - looks hilarious!! Even caught him having a good wiggle scratch on the end of his tunnel! Wonder why he's started doing it now?

If only. I rent an apartment and the leak was not my fault so I wont be paying for anything. Though I do have renters insurance.
I was told a water tank busted a few years back and flooded all 4 floors of the apartment below it. This kind of explains why the ceiling looks like there was previous water damaged and it was repainted and sealed over. it still has that "bulge".
