/diy/ - Do It Yourself

any landlords on /diy/? Im a renter and my washer busted and dumped water all over the kitchen floor. I didnt notice any actual damage until we were walking on the tiles and they cracked, so we pulled up the loose tiles and noticed all the damage underneath. Me and my roommate are broke college students, I don't have money to replace the washer let alone pay to replace all the flooring (40-50? sq ft area). Am I liable to pay for this, or would this fall under the landlords homeowner's insurance? It happened last week and we haven't told the landlord yet.

I went over the lease and there's not anything clear about who's liable if a tenants appliance causes damage.
