QUESTION
Can I make them pay my deductible after I was displaced from my apartment due to a butane explosion above me?
Asked on Jan 08th, 2014 on Landlord and Tenant Law - Washington
More details to this question:
The apartment complex requires renter's insurance, which I have, but I am unsure if the upstairs tenant does. I am submitting a claim to my insurance. I have a $500 deductible. The apartment is condemned and I got daytime access to it after 8 days shut out. I have hotel, meal expenses and will have moving expenses. Nothing in my apartment is damaged thus far (unless the ceiling or walls fall in.) I'd like the apartment complex to pay my deductible. Thank You.

The butane explosion sounds like a "hash oil" cooking incident so prevalent these days. The apartment owners did nothing wrong. Whoever was cooking the hash oil caused the problem. Sue them in small claims court for your deductible.
