i live in an apartment building and the tennant above my
unit's toilet backed up and water went everywhere soaking
down into my apartment. it ruined electronics, clothes, and
some carpeting. My landlord instructed me to take out a
renters insurance policy, and wait two months to file a
claim and then he would back me up. is this legal? also he
said he would be taking money out of my deposit for routine
carpet cleaning. I thought that was covered under normal
wear and tear. (there are no stains or anything wrong with
the carpet other than where the water leaked in from the
above apartment)

ps- i live in iowa
