I recently had a FIRE at my duplex - Refund rent?

[Christy Holt]

Hello Everyone,

I recently had a fire at my duplex.  One side is a total loss.  The tenant has requested a refund of the rent and deposit.  Would you refund the rent?  The tenant won't get much of the deposit back due to multiple repairs caused by their negligence.  I'm still waiting on the results on what caused he fire.  The fire department and insurance are investigating.

Please advise.
