Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities

questions & answers

Question: A rental insurance company has refused to pay because the landlord did an upgrade rather than a repair of the domicile. A landlord is charging a tenant to pay for an upgrade rather than a repair of property damage. What is the best option to fight this - with the insurance company or the landlord?

Answer: It is difficult to say what the tenant’s best option(s) may be without knowing any of the details, including the nature of the repair/upgrade and the nature of the tenant’s rental agreement with the landlord. It may make sense for the tenant to speak with the landlord first, but the tenant also could always try contacting both. The key is to conduct all correspondence in writing and to keep careful records of everything. The tenant may also wish to speak with an attorney.
