A landlord lives IN the same apartement that is caught on fire by negligence
Not sure if I am posting in the right area first of all.
A landlord living in the apartment complex he owns and rents attached units out in is smoking in bed and sets the entire complex up in a blaze. Tenets lose EVERYTHING! Can the tenet go after the landlord for careless or negligence? She had NO renters insurance but the fire trespassed on to her unit from the landlords unit and caught her unit on fire.
I think there is some sort of liability on the landlords part due to how the fire was started. Any information or case law would be appreciated!
