Fire Damage in a rental tenancy

topdecko · 2021-03-17 20:05:57

so had a close escape this morning when my young son decided to play with a lighter he got his hands on. Very scary. Make sure everyone has fire blanket or extinguisher on each level of house and know what to do . my OH managed to bundle up the bedding in some towels and get it into bathroom to extinguish it. Definitely…

Having small children opens your eyes to things you’d never imagine could happen.
Something in your favour though. Landlord is legally required to provide fire extinguisher and blanket. If those were there it would have reduced the damage caused I’d imagine.

They’re only obliged to supply a fire blanket and smoke alarm, not an extinguisher

Any costs would be tax deductible for the landlord

I see this kind of statement alot. As if the landlord was going to pay that in tax so its ok. But its not as simple as that. It would be the cost @tax rate thats what they would have actually paid in tax.. The balance is out of pocket.
