    - who owns the dryer? -- nm - 15 more days of amanda jones Jul 29, 09:24
- I'm not a lawyer but the apartment complex can pursue LG for the property damage. They have to prove negligence. I think they are bluffing myself - Epiphany Jul 29, 09:20 6
  - They have a $10,000 deductible and say the repairs will only cost about $2500-3500. - Kim Pine Jul 29, 09:21 5
    - ahhhh - I think you are right about the legal liability aspect of it - you have to be legally liable for the damages - and there is nothing - Epiphany Jul 29, 09:26 1
      - Pips - see my note below - I think she is covered :) -- nm - JenBro Jul 29, 09:33
    - a 10K deductible is pretty normal really - that's why most landlords have their tenants get THO or HO-4 policies - yours should respond - JenBro Jul 29, 09:25 2
      - Okay, thanks. So there *is* coverage for this? I'm surprised. I definitely have an HO-4 as far as I know. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 29, 09:26 1
        
        KIM- possibly good news - I just asked a co-worker who has this exact thing going on now (our client's is water - but same deal) - JenBro Jul 29, 09:33
- but Kim your renter's insurance should have liability coverage that would pick this up I would think? -- nm - JenBro Jul 29, 09:18 3
  - sorry to but in too ... I'm not an attorney and you didn't ask for that I know - JenBro Jul 29, 09:21
  - Even so, if they aren't at fault they shouldn't be held responsible for paying. -- nm - TWuG Jul 29, 09:20
  - Only if we're liable, though. Right? -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 29, 09:20
Hilarious. Somebody tweeted to @whitehouse: " I'm trying to remember what the WH plan is. Dem plan? Can't recall seeing either one. Get off the blame - mara Jul 29, 09:08 4

  - Maybe they originally didn't want nudity in the movie, perhaps it was not her choice - Guigue Jul 29, 09:20
  - But now people know her .... known people get clauses, chicks in torture porn get torture porned. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 09:18
