What are the options when a tenant causes a catastrophic loss? Is there any option to go after them for damages?

Guest Insider Renters insurance?

Laura Renaldo Lapsed in this case. Wondering if this is something that they cover though

Mike Powers You or your insurance carrier can sue anyone for liability tied to negligence. Small claims for small stuff, general tort claim for bigger.
Whether you collect or not who knows.
Say a resident left water running and flooded units. They were negligent. Your insurance would or should pursue recovery.
A kitchen fire might be harder to prove negligence.

Susanne Chandler Once you file an insurance claim, the insurance company goes after the offender.
The property can only go after the deductible.

Grace Law We require renters insurance that lists us as an additional insured. If that insurance is cancelled, we put them on a master plan with coverage just to protect our property, no personal
coverage. Premium is added to monthly rent.
