Legal Question in Securities Law in California

Re: renting a house that flooded

Probably none. There is an outside possibility that the landlord knew the property had a propensity to flood, and should have disclosed that fact. There is also a remote possibility that some disaster relief may have been available.

I assume the flood was due to natural causes. If it was due to a burst pipe or a broken dam or something like that, other than an act of God, you may have grounds for a lawsuit for negligence.

Finally, you asked your question under the category "securities law." This area of law is about stocks and bonds and investments. If you re-ask your question under a heading such as landlord-tenant law you will probably get more and better answers.
