Ending of tenancy due to flooding.

Amiri Roberts

So I had a pipe burst inside of a wall in my rental causing a good amount of flooding. The water is currently turned off while I am waiting for insurance to come and do the inspection. Everything has been cleaned up and is currently drying. The tenant went to stay with a parent along with her baby, 

(side note) This tenant has not paid their May rent and it's now the 17th. 

According to the lease it states that if a fire or flood occurs, then the lease is terminated. Can I just send the tenant a termination letter and assist with moving? Am I responsible for temporary living? The tenant has renters insurance but still asked If my insurance would cover a hotel even though she is staying a family members house.  Would you condemn the rental as a percussion?
