Parking is tight in Halifax, I know that. So I rent a parking space in a parking garage. I come to get my car on Saturday only to find a large amount of water flowing down from the ceiling above it. Turns out the bathroom above it overflowed.

The rental company isn’t responsible for the clean-up of my car, and I as I am giving them less than a month’s notice of not wanting to park in their garage after this, I owe them for next month’s rent.

Frustrating. According to the company in parking there I should have known there was a risk of leakage. It isn’t something they feel is necessary to warn people about. —stinky car

  1. i’m confused, did the turlet water get inside your car? as a parker do you assume that some day sewage will end up on your auto?

  2. Great. Sewage pipes go right over my parking spot in my underground parking…and I’ve never even THOUGHT of this.

    Anyone know where I can get a waterproof car cover? LOL

  3. The fact that they won’t help you out if something happens to your car was probably in the agreement or papers that you signed initially. Don’t get me wrong, that really sucks but I’m sure they have themselves covered.

  4. likewise, melectric. Kind of like how parking lots at stores usually have signs saying they won’t pony up compensation for damage done in their lots.

  5. Well. if the shit water got under the hood, I’m guessing it’d be one hellava stink when the motor gets running.

    And sometimes the stink never goes away. Ever hit a skunk by accident? That shit NEVER stops stinkin’.

  6. Do what melectric said. Look into it. If you signed papers, read between the lines to see if you have a leg to stand on. Keep us posted.
