You don't think it will happen to you, but issues arise after a storm when there is flooding, fire, and more. The kind of challenges that you don't think of like possibly being evicted from your rental unit, but it can happen when it is inhabitable, when the landlord is looking to find housing for his or her relatives and friends, etc. So what to do? Well what a number of Hurricane Harvey victims are learning is that they have to make accommodations for themselves. Many property management companies are waving late fees, monthly rent, giving security deposits back or refunding some rent to assist residents that have to relocate. However, this isn't the case for everyone. Therefore, there are many legal issues as a result due to private landlords and unreasonable property management companies. What many survivors do in situations like this involve money--lots of it--that they have saved up for months or even years. They pay for hotels, motels, and relocations. Others stay with relatives and/or friends until they can get on their feet again and eventually kinfolk will expect contributions toward the household. A lot of victims apply for state and disaster aid, and search resources for additional assistance.
