On October 11, 1979, the tenants were notified that the water supply to the apartment building was to be temporarily disconnected while plumbing repairs were performed in a nearby building. Appellee Weintraub returned to his apartment after the water supply had been reconnected and found his unit flooded by water seeping through the ceiling. Appellee Hussain’s apartment, located directly beneath Wein-traub’s unit, was flooded similarly. When the building janitor was located some twen*45ty to thirty minutes later, he determined that the water was coming from the apartment located directly above Weintraub’s unit. The flood damaged appellees’ personal property extensively and rendered their apartments uninhabitable for several days. Appellants authorized appellees to lodge at a nearby hotel at University expense until repairs were completed in approximately twelve days.
