There’s your problem, there’s no ceiling
Anyone who’s lived in a home with a leaky roof probably knows that moisture buildup weakens rafters and ceiling tiles. The longer you ignore the problem, the greater the likelihood that your ceiling will come crashing down. That’s what happened to this person’s apartment ceiling, but the landlord was hesitant to do anything about it.
In fact, the landlord told the tenant that they had to wait until the rainy season. That way, they could locate the leak and tackle the source problem. Meanwhile, this person would have to continue living in a ceiling-less apartment for the next several months.
