Fire!
Last week our house had a fire We had just moved into a rental house and paid all the key money, real estate fees etc. and nine days later our neighbor's house had a major fire, which spread to ours. The neighbor's house is completely burned, and one person died. My family all escaped unhurt, but our house was partially burned and has a lot of water and smoke damage.
We are now arranging to rent another place to live, but have to pay key money and all the related moving costs again.
Our rental fire insurance will cover our lost property, but nothing else. What, if anything are we entitled to from our landlord or real estate agent, or even from our neighbors or insurance company? The cost of moving again is going to put a huge financial burden on us and I am very worried.
