QUESTION
Can your landlord home insurance sue you for broken pipe?
Asked on Feb 18th, 2014 on Landlord and Tenant Law - Colorado
More details to this question:
Recently I moved out of a home I was renting. I moved out on 02/03/2014 and turned in the keys to the landlord. The landlord didn't go look at the property until 12/08/2014. During the week the house was sitting empty the weather outside was -35 F on the coldest days and 0 on the warmest. This cause the pipes to freeze and break. I recently got noticed from the landlord that the home insurance place was going to come after me for the damages to the property. Can they did that even though I was no longer in the property or in possession of the keys to enter the property ?

The insurance company may attempt to sue you for negligence. But, based on your facts you will definitely want to defend yourself in this action. I recommend that you consult with an attorney to review the facts and present your case to the insurance company.
Good luck,
