Question:

What can quick rot a floor?

I walked into the bathroom floor of my renters house this morning, and there was no floor. Just some dirt. Then I walked into their living room, and the carpet had turned brown. There were also snails and slugs in it, and dirt. Is there something that could have caused this so rapidly? It seems so unlikely, and I think they're lying to me, but I don't know. Help?

Answer:

Could they have pulled up the floors for some reason and gotten rid of them? Even if it was rotten, the underlayment should still have been there, and the floor all around the edges of the room would still have been there. That carpet either has to be on bare ground, or they have been hauling dirt in from outdoors. Did they kill someone in there or do something with illegal chemicals, and got rid of all the flooring to destroy the evidence?
sounds like it got a lot of moisture in it about 75 years ago and was never fixed
