[quote=UCGal]It sounds like insurance will not cover the burning down of the house. And it sounds like there’s a significant risk that neighboring houses could go up in flames as well.[/quote]
I’m wondering what recourse the landlord would have in this case. Is his only course of action to pursue a (probably futile) civil suit against the tenant?
Assuming that the landlord acted reasonably and had no reasonable suspicions about his renter, I’m not sure how he could have protected himself. And what about the neighbors, if the fire spreads?
