A Dartmouth woman is unhappy with the response from her landlord related to a leak that forced her to leave her apartment for the night.

“All I know is it’s raining today and my apartment is raining,” said Kathy Cooper.

Water trickles heavily from the light fixtures in her living room at 65 Primrose Street in Dartmouth called Majestic Manor.

Cooper says a leak from the ceiling began at about 10:30 Sunday morning and many leaks soon followed.

A fire official confirmed to CBC News crews told her it was "unsafe" to stay there because of the threat of falling gyprock.

Cooper says her landlord refuses to provide her with a place to stay for the night. As a result, she’s going to stay at her mom’s.

But on Monday morning a senior manager with MetCap disputed Cooper's version of events. Teddy Zaghloul says Cooper was offered a unit on another floor while the problem is fixed, which he expects will take two days.

Cooper moved all of her furniture out of the living room to prevent it from becoming damaged and set up buckets to catch the drips, which she had to empty frequently.

“My floors are all soaked. They’re starting to warp up, like if you step on them, you can hear the water squeezing in between,” said Cooper.

She plans on finding a new place for March.
