¶2 In April 2006, Ma Herlouise Caro Diel crashed her family’s car into the apartment that the Hawkinses rented from DMC. The car created an eight foot, floor-to-ceiling hole in the Hawkinses’ bedroom wall. That night, DMC offered to host the Hawkinses in a hotel room, but the Hawkinses declined because they did not feel that their belongings would be secure. The next day, DMC secured the apartment wall by screwing pieces of plywood over most of the opening, although several inches at the bottom remained exposed. The Hawkinses informed DMC about the void and offered to fix the hole, but DMC told them not to fix the hole because DMC would make the repairs. The Hawkinses relied on these representations.
