Rental House Fire Today

[Justin Johnson]

First time landlord here, of 12 months. Talk about baptism by fire - literally! My rental property went up in flames today. Tentatively investigator says it was an accidental fire caused by one of the tenants cigarettes. Thankfully they have renters insurance and I have home owners insurance. The house is not livable, but the tenants still have keys and are able to get in. So, I guess my biggest question is how long do I allow them access to get their stuff? Any other questions to ask my insurance agent or tenants? Thanks!
