The ball is in his court and you were cool about it.

We've had several roofs repaired and that's kind of par for the course (dust and debris, especially if they have to cut a ridge vent.) You'd be surprised at how easily sawdust and the like are cleared off items using compressed air. I bet you'll be fine.

Thanks. I’m reassured by this response. I’m really pissed that he didn’t put a tarp on our stuff or warn us. Was very casual about the whole thing.

The roofer should’ve told the guy stuff should be covered It probably never dawned on your landlord.

Same happened to me with a house I owned when we replaced the roof. Things I had in the unfinished attic were mostly in boxes, but the dust was easy to remove on most items. Hopefully that’s true for you too.

I’d show your landlord, do your best to clean it all, then if any items need extra cleaning, talk about the bill for those. Of course, you’ll also want to know if you had permission to store items in the attic. I’m assuming your landlord knew about it, but if use of the attic isn’t explicitly part of your lease, you may have trouble demanding anything.

Hopefully it’s not a big deal in the end!

This, or from a board roof instead of plywood, lots of big cracks for debris to fall thru. But you nailed it in the first two sentences.
