Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Hello, I rent a unit in a multi-unit bldg in south beach. a fire occurred in the owners apt on the 3rd floor. our apt was not damaged. i do not have renters insurance. the landlord told me and my girlfriend separately that she would cover our hotel costs. she also sent me a text to send her receipts. now she is wavering. do i have a case to sue? my girlfriends mother came into town for the holidays, which is adding to the distress since she told me she would cover it.

Your lease agreement controls the obligations. What does it say about uninhabitable building? You need to have it reviewed by an attorney asap. The hotel offer may be gratuitous and not supported by the lease.
