Tenant Rights After Fire

Summary

If a fire damages your apartment and the cause is undetermined, landlords cannot withhold your belongings. Send a written demand to your landlord for the return of your items, file a report with local law enforcement, and consider filing a claim in small claims court for the value of your belongings. Connecting with a local lawyer can help you retrieve your belongings and potentially seek compensation.
