Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Who pays for my hotel expenses for being displaced from home due to mold and water damage. Upstairs water heater leaked causing mold. I rent through a property management who says owner can't pay for bills because they are broke.

As a tenant your remedy is rent abatement for the period you are displaced. If that does not cover your losses, you are entitled to go after the owner of the water heater.
