Tenant's responsibility after a house fire
I have a question from the tenant's perspective. A friend of mine had a house fire last week in the house that she has rented for the last 11 years. It is uninhabitable, and all of her personal property has been removed. What else is she responsible for, or what should she expect from her landlord. The investigation is incomplete, but it is suspected to have been a short around the breaker box - no fault of the tenant that started the fire.
