Re: Accidental Fire
The renter is liable for any damages he causes to the leased
premises. I charge $120 per hour for the work I do if you want me to
represent you in this matter.
there may be other circumstances that should be considered in
determining the degree of fault for each party.

You, the renter, are liable. Whether or not there are
additional considerations, I can't tell without sufficient
facts.
