Flooded basement in rentals

[Roy Gutierrez]

Hi,

We just had a very BAD rainstorm here in Michigan (oakland county). My house and 2 rentals had water in the basement, unfortunately I didn't have flood insurance (like 99% of people here it seems). The water has been pumped out of the 2 rentals but now I need to clean and sanitize. A friend that happens to be a landlord told me the renter is responsible for the cleanup b/c this is a nothing to do with the house, it was mother nature. If anybody know who's responsibility is it let me know, I just want to be informed, I will still clean and disinfect the basements of my rentals.

Thanks!

yours, your house, your responsibility unless a tenant did something to cause it
