How to rebound after a fire

[Curtis Magee]

Hello everyone,

We just had a fire in our fourplex. Only one unit was damaged and the tenant agreed to pay for all repairs. I don't think she can afford to pay for the damages, therefore, we are preparing for small claims court. The fire department is conducting an investigation and will give us a report. Are there any other reports we need?

instead of chasing after the tenant why don't you just file against your insurance.  Get the money, get everything repaired and move on. 

The insurance company may go after the tenant.
