i don't think the owner will do anything... he is evil and a money-hungry jackal and hates me because i've lived here since before he bought the building and he can't double my rent like he would like to. every time i have to talk to him i end up furious and with adrenaline going through me like electricity.
anyway, i called a friend, and they told me i should get some "putty" (mastic) for the window. when i had time to take a look, i noticed that the putty on the bottom of the window is coming away from the glass, and in fact about 10cm is gone altogether (probably from that damned rain). it still seems strange that the water could come in so much, because even without the putty, there is a little ledge at the bottom of the window going towards the outside, you would think the water would run down that away from the glass... anyway, i guess it could be worse : it could have flooded the bedroom, which has wood floors instead of linoleum, and a lot more furniture which is too heavy for me to move (bed, armoire, more bookshelves...).
thank you for the big hug though ; it helps.
