Yes, the Landlord is suppose to fix the damage, he is the owner, of the building. I would not continue, to stay there, I would give my notice to vacant. |

yeah he needs to fix it...he should have insurance....but i do not think he has to worry about the contents in the room just the structureal part....of course the tenants should check with state law. Usually you can get info on tenant rights by going through housing court in their state/town. |

Yes!! Call the housing authority. |

Yes the landlord needs to fix it. Call your local housing authority.
Every state has different laws, but the tenants should be able to sue for rent abatement, which means the landlord pays the tenants back some of the rent money for not keeping the house up to code. The tenants should pay their rent to the courts, who will hold it in escrow until the repairs are done. In Minnesota this is done by filing an Affidavit of Rent Escrow.
If it's not safe to live there the tenants should vacate immediately. Research "Constructive Eviction." |

Yes the only exception would be if the landlord decided to vacate and seal off the WHOLE unit. You can't legally have tenants living in a unit that's partially inhabitable. |

Since the unit isn't fit for human habitation you may break the lease and move out. You don't need to give any notice in this case, you don't owe rent past the date you move out. The landlord must return your security deposit.
Unfortunately you cannot force the landlord to make repairs; your ONLY option is to break the lease and move out. |

Whose fault was the fire? Building fault, wiring, etc? OR tenants? If it were tenants, then I would think the tenant is responsible.. if not them, then the landlord may be waiting on the insurance to kick in and help! |

There are variables... such as: who caused the fire, state laws, etc.
If tenants caused the fire, they may be responsible for some or all damages. (Refer to Rental or Lease agreement)
If tenants had Renter's Insurance, some of the damages may be covered. Make sure to read the fine print.
In certain circumstances, the landlord is responsible for some repairs under the "implied warranty of habitability".
Check your states Consumer Affairs Dept and the Landlord/Renters Handbooks |

He is probably waiting for the insurance to pay up. There are a lot of factors leading to payment, for instance, was the fire accidental or arson? Was the fire the fault of the tenant, like candles started it? Was the fire electrical or some other cause. There is a lot to determine regarding pay off.
As for the tenants, they should be compensated for the loss of part of the apartment, IF they weren't the party of fault. Nana |

If the authorities deem the house "unlivable" then the people have a right to get out of their contract and leave. Also, if the damage was CAUSED by the tenants, then the tenants will have to use their deposit and probably more since it sounds like a lot of damage to repair it. I'm sure the LL has contacted them about how they are going to work it all out. It's a slow process..but 4 months and nothing has been repaired? That's REALLY slow.... |

whose fault was the fire? and yes it's to be fixed |

Sounds like a legal matter. Maybe call the health department to check it out first. |

I'm surprised that he was able to continue renting ANY of the building. When there's a fire, usually repairs have to be made before it's considered habitable. You need to contact a local authority - the fire department, your local town hall, code enforcement officer, or housing authority. And the tenants should not be paying full rent, but probably legally they should not be living there at all. |

First of all, check your lease for owner liability. Next, contact your insurance company and check for stipulations in the policy that allow you to move and file a claim due to the uninhabitable conditions. Next, take pictures of the damage and go to the city and fire chief. There has to be an investigation of the fire and you need to get a copy of the results. If they deem the unit untentable, your landlord must make the accomodations for you to move and refund your deposit. If the fire was the other tenant's fault you may have a suit against them. |
