When am on a smooth road it doesn't make the noise only when going over speed bumps, bumps and pot holes.Car: ford Taurus 96 ohv mileage: 250,000 + miles
I'm very sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you knew there were no smoke detectors - and you didn't go purchase any? and you didn't protect yourself with rental insurance that would have paid on your property loss? Was there loss of life or injury? if not, smoke detectors would not have protected your property because it can't leave on its own. It was an unfortunate accident but you could have protected yourself against your losses. You could probably sue and tie up our legal system and put your landlord in bankruptcy by winning a judgement, but that would be blaming someone else for your neglegence in not taking care of yourself.
Your landlord is not liable for your stuff. You choose your insurance, and have to accept your choice. If you go after the landlord you will very most likely loose AND have to pay his attorney fees. It is likely in your rental contract, but even w/o you would pay because you are simply looking to dig in his pockets.
O my goodness, Yes is demad that in california you must have a smoke alarm in a rental home. You will for sure have a case if they did not provide nothing. Do not let this go. make sure you presue with this. If you do not have money for a lawyer, I am sure someone will still take you case , cause they no the laws. Just make sure in the next place you live to make sure the landlord gets one and even if he or she does not get one for your own safety. even more then one is a great Idea.
It's filled with venus fly traps so you could say that.
smoke detectors are not a requirement if the building is old, it would be grandfathered in this is why newer buildings have both smoke detectors and fire sprinklers by electrical in nature, was it something on your part ( like a frayed cord that arced and then caused a fire ) or something like aluminum wiring in wall which is a known fire hazard.. as you say the landlord is going after your rental insurance for damages done to his unit if the cause was by the existing wiring in the building then he has the liability, though your losses may not be covered
