I'm asking this question for a relative so unfortunately I don't have all the specifics. Tenant was working in the garage on the property and started a fire. The garage was a complete loss and the landlord's insurance policy covers the damages, less a $1000 deductible. Can the tenant be liable for the deductible? I don't know if the tenant has renters insurance or how the lease is worded.
I'm suggesting the landlord contact his attorney and his insurance company but I thought I'd ask the experts on BiggerPockets!
