Relocation of tenants during housefire
My tenants called the PSEG electric gas company to fix the furnace. They thought the fix would be covered under worry-free contract. And when the guy came down from the attic he mentioned it would be $300 for replacing the ignitor. The tenant couldn't afford it at the time so he said to replace the old one back. At this time he went back up and sparks must have flew and something smoked up and he ran downstairs and turned off the fuse box. He called the fire department, police, and a whole situation went down. They think it's an electric fire and cut the main power to the duplex affecting my residential unit as well. Now I learn of this and I find out we are to vacate the building and cannot live there. The PSEG company requires fixes before reconnecting power and township inspection with permit. I relocated my tenants at a hotel and seems to be $400/day. I am waiting on insurance help and My contractor and licensed electrician think there's no issue with the electric and think this PSEG guy did something. But they are the same people that gave the violation. Myself, my fiance, are currently living with my brother and shedding money everyday until I go broke. I need a path forward. Anyone have any advice or help?
