Walk It Through: The Storm and the Lease
A hurricane, a flooded first floor, a rent reduction or a way out, and a house that is gone.
A hurricane floods the downstairs of a rented house. The upstairs is dry.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
A residential lease and storm damage the tenant did not cause. Insurance claims, a landlord's own fault, and evacuation lockouts are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
