News Article: Landlord Sends Man $1,200 Bill To Cleanup His Roommate’s Blood, Who Was Shot Dead By Police
BP,
I came across the following news article at: http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/04/02/364225...
In summary, a Wisconsin landlord is holding a young tenant liable for the cleanup of bio-HAZMAT from when the police shot and killed a friend of the tenant who was staying at the apartment.
I'm curious for BP's thoughts on what is the correct way to handle this situation. Is this something the landlord's insurance company would handle, or should the tenant be liable?
